For Attorneys: How the Internet Can Make Or Break Your Reputation and What You Can Do About

On January 24th, I'll be speaking at an event for the DC Bar's Law Practice Management Committee entitled "Practicing Law in the E-Court of Public Opinion: How the Internet Can Make Or Break Your Reputation and What You Can Do About."  I'll be on a panel with Andrew Mirsky, moderated by Carolyn Elefant, discussing the role of the First Amendment and defamation law in protecting an attorney's reputation. 

At E-Commerce Law, we've addressed Internet defamation and how Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act has destroyed traditional concepts of defamation law.  I've been asked to address some practical ways that attorneys, in particular, can protect and enhance their Internet image.

My Shingle has more details.  Check in there if you're interested in signing up to attend the event in person or by telephone.
