Learn how to avoid the ethical pitfalls of using social media.
The use of social media raises a myriad of ethical issues for attorneys. These issues affect internal investigations, the discovery process, litigation strategy, and trial preparation. The use of social media also affects how attorneys advise their individual or corporate clients about the client’s use of social media. Indeed, whether you are in-house counsel, outside counsel, a solo practitioner, or otherwise work in the legal profession, there are obvious and some not so obvious ethical issues that you must understand.
This material considers the ethical minefields associated with social media use in the context of: (1) effectively using social media to craft robust but ethical investigations, discovery, and trial strategies; (2) an attorney’s ethical obligations in advising an individual or corporate client about its use of social media to promote their businesses, products, and/or services; and (3) an attorney’s ethical obligations in marketing, promoting, and advertising the attorney’s legal services.
