In keeping with the times, lawyers are turning to social media sites to enhance their professional presence. These on-line activities have ethical implications. During this program, panelists will discuss both the "how to" and ethical implications of using social media in your legal practice.

Topics will include:
  • How to effectively integrate Twitter and LinkedIn into your practice
  • The ethical implications of using social media, including permissible tweets and posts; how posts may constitute lawyer advertising; avoiding pitfalls, i.e. the unauthorized practice of law; protecting confidential information; and law firm “ownership” of the individual attorney’s publications
  • The latest trends in social media as they relate to practicing attorneys
  • New mediums on the horizon and their potential effect on how attorneys practice and advertise
