GENERAL MEETING
MAY 20, NOON, VIRTUAL
TOPIC: SOCIAL MEDIA MISUSE ON THE RISE BY ATTORNEYS
Between living in a society where social media is ubiquitous and being subject to an ethical obligation of technology competence, lawyers have more reasons than ever to be conscious of their use of social media. But where are the ethical boundary lines drawn in our Digital Age? Using real world examples drawn from cases, disciplinary actions, and the headlines, this program will look at social media misuse by lawyers and how to avoid making these missteps.
