Course Description

Social media plays a role in virtually every aspect of a paralegal’s practice: litigation, employment law, criminal, estate planning, and corporate law. Knowing the pitfall of using, or not using, social media can result in serious ethical violations, for you and your lawyers. Learn what you can and cannot ethically do, and the impact it may have on you. You will laugh. You will cry. And you will be amazed at what legal professionals do on social media.
