Great to have a social media policy reference to put in place and provide to the marketing folks with whom I contract.
Online courses are hard for me to follow, so I was happy this one kept my attention well.
Very helpful for any firm with a strong presence in social networking and internet
I very much enjoyed the course.
It was great.
Overall very helpful for obtaining ethics CLE on a relevant, useful topic.
It was helpful to see how social media and website activities can run afoul of ethics rules and/or create other unanticipated consequences.
Social media use should be carefully monitored to avoid ethical conflicts.
This presentation was excellent, well researched and should be an in-class CLE. Very timely and necessary topic.
The material provided insight with respect to scenarios about posting on social media and how such could possibly be an ethical violation. The opinions provided delved deeper into the dangers of posting on social media without being knowledgeable of the ethical rules governing such.
An often overlooked topic
Thinking through through the issue of being social media friends with judges was most interesting.
