  Webinar: Social Media Ethics for School Attorneys
  When lawyers use social media, what ethical rules apply? And how?
  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. However, as with all other forms of attorney advertising, they must remain mindful of potentially serious ethical implications. For example, Rule 7.1 of the New York Rules of Professional Conduct governs attorney and law firm advertisements, including content published on the Internet and via social media. This webinar will review the rules governing social media ethics and their application to attorneys who practice education law.
