Ethics permeates all areas of legal practice. So too does the growing phenomenon of social media. The interaction of the two raises new and important legal questions for corporate counsel, trial lawyers and other practitioners.

For in-house counsel, which online communications are protected by the attorney-client privilege?
How do lawyers safeguard the attorney-client privilege when blogging?
Can lawyers obtain the online passwords of jurors?
How are privacy and security issues addressed generally?

Bar association ethics opinions and local court rules have addressed "pretexting," "social engineering," "friending" and "tweeting" in the context of the conduct of lawyers, judges and jurors. This Webinar explores the latest issues and developments, provides expert practical guidance to the new rules, and more.
