Social Media Law & Order

Social media is taking the business and legal community by storm.  As of September 2010, Internet users spend more time on Facebook than any other Internet website, including google.  Social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn are prevalent in boardrooms across country, creating unique marketing opportunities by connecting attorneys with colleagues and potential clients from around the world. These interactive sites are also penetrating our courtrooms, providing nearly unrestricted access to online evidence, while presenting unique issues of first impression that require careful attention by the legal and business communities alike.
