Ethical Issues in Social Media - On-Demand #MCLE

This webinar is designed to help lawyers and law firms understand the professional ethics rules and other state bar regulations governing the use of social media, with a special emphasis on the first amendment constraints around these rules and specific examples of the use (and misuse) of current social media platforms.
Topics will include:

• Rules of Professional Conduct: The ABA model rules, state-specific examples, what they mean for online communications.
• The Commercial Speech Doctrine: Understanding lawyer’s first amendment rights, and how the commercial speech doctrine defines how expansively attorney advertising regulations can be read.
