Security, Confidentiality, Privacy and Social Media (2019)

This program will delve into the use of social media, discovery of social media in legal matters, and the ethics of using social media – both as an attorney and as a private citizen. Can you communicate with parties and witnesses over social media? Can you research parties, witnesses and jurors? We will answer these questions and consider others, and the answers are more complicated than you may think. Further, have you ever considered the security risks and dangers for your and your clients' electronic information when you travel internationally? If not, you should, and this program will address those security concerns for electronic devices and electronically stored information. Finally, the program will examine storage of client confidential information utilizing the cloud and will analyze the specific and real ethical concerns before and while engaging in electronic storage.
