WEBINAR: Social Media Ethics for School Attorneys 
When lawyers use social media, what ethical rules apply? And how?

Date: Wednesday, February 16, 2022
Time: Noon to 1:00 p.m.
Price: $110 per person

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
On an ever-increasing basis, 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.        

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
This webinar is open to all attorneys who practice in New York and, in particular, those who practice Education Law.

SPEAKERS:
Christie R. Jacobson, Esq., Frazer & Feldman, LLP
Candace J. Gomez, Esq., Bond, Schoeneck & King PLLC

AGENDA
12:00 – 12:50 p.m.
Social media refers to forms of electronic communication through which users create online communities to share information, ideas, and other content. Examples include social networking websites such as LinkedIn and YouTube, as well as “microblogging” platforms such as Twitter. When lawyers use these newer forms of electronic communication, they must remember to follow the ethical rules and responsibilities that have historically applied to more traditional methods of communication. This webinar will review the rules governing social media ethics in New York and offer everyday examples of how they apply to school attorneys.
