For anyone who's looking for some CLE credit this week, I am the lunch speaker on Thursday with a topic of Social Media Update at the State Bar's Litigation Update seminar this coming week at the Four Seasons in Las Colinas. (LC is actually part of Irving, which is better known as suburban Dallas). The brochure is attached here - Download 12 Liltigation Update
This paper was eating my lunch until I remember that we had done a special issue on social media in the Texas Bar Journal March before last, curated by John Browning of Dallas, who's also written a book on the subject, The Lawyer’s Guide to Social Networking: Understanding Social Media’s Impact on the Law (Thomson Reuters/West Publishing 2010). With John's work to refer to, as well as knowledge of some recent online misadventures in this small town I live in, I think I've come up with a presentation that just might be worth a listen. The subject is fascinating, and I've actually enjoying reviewing the recent cases and activity in the field.
