Program Overview:

#SocialMedia #YesItMatters
Whether it was a tweet, snap, post, share, vine, follow, like, pin, check-in, or favorite,
at some point, social media entered your world, and it is there to stay. So why should
this matter to you as a lawyer?

Social media has distinct advantages that can be a great asset to your business
clients and your firm, if you know how to use them. Its affordability, ease of use,
and wide reach can connect a business with potential customers, and also connect
employers with potential employees. This powerful business connection also carries
a risk of misuse without proper protocols and policies in place. Can you advise
your clients to avoid potential pitfalls while helping them utilize this medium’s full
potential?
