Event Description
Co-Sponsored by the Practice
Management & Marketing Section and the Solo
& Small Firm Section
Today, the impact of social media pervades not only our
social lives, but also our professional lives. The prominence of social media
creates a need for lawyers to be mindful of their ethical obligations when using
social media. This presentation will identify the Minnesota Rules of
Professional Conduct that are most commonly implicated by a lawyer’s online
presence, such as rules governing competence, confidentiality, conflict of
interest, and trial publicity. Those rules will be discussed within the context
of common social media applications such as online friendships, public
commentary, and dissemination of information. The goal of the presentation will
be to improve awareness of a lawyer’s ethical obligations and to identify tools
to appropriately use social media in consideration of those obligations.
Check-in begins at
11:45 am; special meal requests must be made in advance.
