Don't Be ‘Socially' Unacceptable: Ethical Issues with Social Media in Your Practice
Sponsored by the Attorney Protective
Practicing law in the Digital Age is rife with ethical minefields. Changes to the Model Rules of Professional Conduct have ushered in new expectations as attorneys are now held to a higher standard of digital competence. Ethics opinions across the country are addressing issues like the limits of advising clients about what to "take down" from their Facebook pages, contact with witnesses via social media, and even researching the online profiles of prospective jurors. Join speakers John Browning, J.D. and Sally Field, J.D. to discuss this ever-evolving topic. As a lawyer and the author of The Lawyer's Guide to Social Media and two more books on social media and the law, John Browning has spent a great deal of time examining this issue and will offer some valuable insight into emerging issues. Sally Field is an attorney of more than 30 years and has spoken on numerous ethics topics over the years. She will offer attendees perspective on how the Model Rules of Professional Conduct translate to social media.
Speakers:
Sally Field - President, Attorney Protective
John Browning - Partner, Spencer Fane LLP
