The Pennsylvania Bar documents its comprehensive social media policy.
I was researching content for a follow-up blog post about lawyers' use of social media and ran across an interesting update from the Pennsylvania Bar Association. The document, published earlier this year, is titled Formal Opinion 2014-300, Ethical Obligations for Attorneys Using Social Media.
My first inclination was to keep researching, as the document is 18 pages long, it's years too late, and most opinions I've read regarding social media normally raise more questions than they answer. Fortunately, I glanced at the first two pages before moving on. What I found was probably the most comprehensive social media policy for lawyers ever published by a Bar Association. The PA Bar took its time and provides some great guidance.
