Ethics permeates all areas of today's legal practice.  With the proliferation of social media, what types of personal information are companies permitted to access without the consent of their employees or applicants?  How is privacy and security addressed?  The New York City Bar Association, the New York State Bar Association and the New York County Lawyers' Association have all issued ethics opinions on "pretexting" and "social engineering" to obtain access to a user's social network profile. In the everyday practice for inside counsel, what is protected by the attorney-client privilege?  How do lawyers safeguard the attorney-client privilege when blogging?  Can and should employers demand the online passwords of prospective employees? What about the online passwords of prospective jurors?  This program will address these and many more ethical dilemmas.
