Prior to March 2020, it was important for attorneys to learn to ethically build and protect their personal legal brands (their reputations) on line; after that date it became imperative. When 2020 began, no one could have predicted that a worldwide pandemic would profoundly change everything, including the legal industry. The courts closed, offices were shuttered, and lawyers and law firms were scrambling to find a way to work from home. What didn’t change, however, was the need for attorneys to create a legal brand, build it ethically and protect it, but now, it is all done online. This seminar teaches attorneys the ethical methods of building, maintaining and protecting their online reputations.
But more importantly, this seminar will talk about the ethics issues that accompany the use of social media by attorneys. In fact, there are a myriad of ethics rules that are tied to the use of these sites including (based on NY and NJ Ethics Rules): 1.1, 1.6, 1.8, 1.9, 1.18, 3.6, 5.5, 7.1 – 7.5 and 8.4.
