Blogging, Friending & Tweeting: What Attorneys Should & Should Not Do

February 8, 2012

Our everyday valuable internet tools which we use, can be minefields for the unwitting attorney, whose conduct is governed by a host of ethics rules and regulations not applicable to other online users. In recent months, attorneys have been reprimanded, fined, and otherwise sanctioned for comments they have made on blogs, on the grounds that they have breached their ethical obligations. Judges too have found themselves in hot water over their use of social media sites. The panel will explore what ethical issues an attorney should keep in mind when commenting on a blog, and how the rules of professional conduct, as well as rules pertaining to attorney advertising, might bear on what an attorney says about him or herself on such sites as Facebook or Twitter. The panel will also address ethical issues raised when attorneys seek to obtain discovery from social network sites.
