Description

Legal Ethics and Social Media: A Practitioner's Handbook 2nd Edition Jan L Jacobowitz ISBN 9781639051960

While technology has greatly increased the speed and efficiency of legal services, the explosive growth of social media has quietly reshaped nearly every aspect of legal practice—for better and for worse. From client communications to courtroom strategy, lawyers must now navigate ethical challenges that did not exist just a few years ago.

Legal Ethics and Social Media: A Practitioner’s Handbook, Second Edition offers comprehensive, practical guidance on how social media affects lawyers, clients, judges, and courts. Addressing both attorney conduct and client-related risks, this updated edition helps legal professionals understand their ethical obligations and avoid common pitfalls in an increasingly digital world.

Key topics include:

  • Digital competence and ethical responsibilities

  • Advising and representing clients in the social media era

  • Judges, courts, and online conduct

  • Ethical use of platforms such as Google, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube

  • Attorney advertising and marketing through social media

  • Preservation, spoliation, and discovery of digital evidence

  • Juror research and the risks of “Facebooking” a jury

  • Responding ethically to negative online reviews and comments

  • Digital assets and emerging online issues

The book also includes references to Legal Ethics Advisory Opinions and a comprehensive Table of Cases, making it a reliable research and compliance resource. Essential for lawyers, judges, law students, and legal professionals, this handbook is an indispensable tool for anyone whose practice intersects with social media or who has encountered ethical challenges arising from online activity.
