Lawyer Advertising Ethics Issues in a Web 2.0 World

Lawyer Advertising Ethics Issues in a Web 2.0 World: From Facebook to Second Life; Web Sites to Blogs

The IMA returns to Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, April 24 and 29 respectively, for his annual one-hour Pennslvania Ethics marketing/ethics CLE for the Pennsylvania Bar Institute. This years's focus is on issues that go beyond the basic web site or blog--Google, Second Life, Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn--just to name a few of the plethora of topics that will be covered in lightning fashion.

This program will be repeated, as always, at the close of the August and December compliance periods as well.

PBI Course Description:

If you’ve ever visited Facebook or MySpace, you probably never thought about the Rules of Professional Responsibility. The Internet continues to be a seemingly endless land of lawyer marketing opportunities. What started with web sites and e-mail has expanded to blogging, social networking sites and a variety of referral sources—some ethically sound, others questionable. This one-hour ethics potpourri program will examine online marketing and the related rules and opinions guiding lawyers through the maze that is the World Wide Web.
