Ethical Risks

In Advertising and Other Uses

Social media can be a minefield

The risks are greater due to the numberof people who will see what is posted



The Internet is Different

People sometimes believe the Internetis different

It isnrsquot The ethical rules are the same online as

offline



The Internet is not Different

If you cannot engage in a certainbehavior offline you cannot engage inthat behavior online



71 False or Misleading

Communications

Young attorney took a capital case in DC

Thrown off case for incompetence

Review of website and other advertisingshowed massive misstatements about

experience Large ethical complaint expected in his

55 Unauthorized Practice of Law

Be careful on sites where you can answerquestions

Avvo

LinkedIn Your Blog

You could

Inadvertently form a client relationship

End up practicing in a state in which you arenot licensed

Take care in how you answer questions



Your Reputation

It comes down to protecting yourreputation

It is easy to say something foolishonline and have the statement go viral

Examples of things not to do



Ways to Look Like an

Idiot on the Web

Calling a Judge an ldquoEvil Witchrdquo

Florida

Providing specific information about acase and clients in an inappropriatefashion

Illinois



Attacking a client of your firm in a blogpost (and thus being called on thecarpet by your firm)



Asking a Judge to suspend a case dueto needing to attend a funeral

Being friends with the Judge onFacebook

Facebook page showing pictures of theparty attended

Texas



Blogging about a case in which theattorney is counsel

Posting on Social Media sites aboutcases in which the attorney is counsel



Judges

ex-parte communication

publicly reprimanded a judge forviolating the Code of Judicial

Conduct after he ldquofriendedrdquo anattorney involved in a custodyhearing before the court andGoogled one of the parties involvedin the dispute (North Carolina)



Friends with Defendant

Unaware friends

Publicity nightmare

Advice Judges should limit friendships online

Or at least be aware of an reveal relevantfriendships



Friending the wrong people

Not ok for judges to friend attorneys

in FloridaOk for judges to friend attorneys in

Ohio and Oklahoma

Crucial to know your statersquos rules



What Should you do if you

Mess Up

Remember the Streisand Effect

Barbara Streisand sued to have an imageof her house removed from the Internet

Resulted in greater publicity and a lot ofinsults

Lesson learned Suing rarely works

Accept responsibility

Apologize (sincerely)

Lay low



Social Media in the Practice of Law



Social Media is Being Admitted

Mixed Results in Reported Decisions

People frequently lie to the court (or theirattorney) and tell the truth on social media



Access Granted

Zimmerman v Weis Markets

McMillen v Hummingbird

Largent v Reed (newest case)

Viewable picturesposts showed contradictoryinformation

Basis for access (and admission)



Access Not Granted

Piccolo v Paterson

No content available for defense to see

Fishing expedition

Arcq v Fields No publicly available information



Access not Granted

Kalinowski v Kirschenheiter

Bar has Facebook Page ndash is the informationrelevant

Kalinowski has Facebook AccountMyspace ndash No relevant publicly available information

Require to preserve all data



Admission

Even if information is obtained throughdiscovery all usual evidence rules apply

You may need to educate your judge as

toWhy social media shouldshould not

be available via ediscovery

Why social media shouldshould notbe admitted



How to Handle Social Media

Begin with your own clients

Ask if they have social media

Suggest they should stop using it

Make it clear they may not deleteposts they have already written

This would be destruction ofevidence

You could be found culpable forspoliation be careful



Spoliation Case in Virginia

Plaintiffrsquos Counsel instructed plaintiff to clean

up account

Plaintiff deleted pictures and other

information 10 million dollar verdict halved

700000+ dollar sanction

Attorney required to pay 500000+ dollar



Opposing Side

Get online and look

Preserve what you find

Screen shots

PDFs

Video

Be careful who does the preservation oryou could end up being your ownwitness



Request that counsel have the entireFacebook account downloaded

immediately(Facebook provides a tool for this)

Ask for all email addressesPeople may have more than one

account



Send a notice to preserve immediately

Be clear that you mean everything

Social media

Blogs

Any kind of postings online



Ask for immediate access

Access should mean a password becausenot everything is accessible without one

If refuse password ask for privacy settings tobe completely opened

Ask for Judge to compel access

Ask the right questions Donrsquot just ask about Facebook

Ask about all online use



Important to Note

Facebook and MySpace will not providecontent in a civil case

Limited by Stored CommunicationsAct 18 USC sect 2701 et seq

Will only provide ownershipinformation broad account

information



Watch the Ethics

Friending Witnesses

Attorney proposed to have third partyFriend a witness

Friend would not lie but would notreveal association with attorney

Asked Philadelphia Bar for an opinion

Bar said No

Opinion 2009-02



Other States

Same advice ndash be honest if friendingwitnesses



Other Guidance Opinions

No friending other side

What is Ok

Accessing what is not hidden through privacysettings

70 of people do not change their privacysettings leaving a substantial amount of data

Accessing through someone who is already afriend

Divorcing spouses often forget to unfriend

each other Be cautious however in employment cases

It can look like a third party employee is beingforced to share information

Ask for strict and clear instruction on socialmediainternet use

Many jurors disregard

Examples Death penalty verdict overturned

Do not contact Jurors
