    Webinar: Social Media Ethics for School Attorneys

    Time: Noon to 1:00 p.m.
    Price: $110 per person


    Christie R. Jacobson will co-present a seminar on the topic of school attorneys and their law firms are using social media platforms such as LinkedIn, YouTube, and Twitter to connect with both current and prospective clients.

This webinar will review the rules governing social media ethics and their application to attorneys who practice education law.
