- Attorneys who leverage social media have distinct advantage over those who don’t\n
- “[S]ocial media is a shift in how people discover, read and share news, information and content. It’s a fusion of sociology and technology, transforming monologues (one to      many) into dialogues (many to many) and is the democratization of information, transforming people from content readers into publishers. Social media has become extremely popular because it allows people to connect in the online world to form relationships for personal, political and business use. Businesses also refer to social media as user-generated content (UGC) or consumer-generated media (CGM).”\n            — WIKIPEDIA ENTRY FOR SOCIAL MEDIA \n\n

- •While it is important to have a static website or blog for your business, it is equally important for lawyers to cultivate a uniquely individual online presence as well.\n

- •The best way to do this it to take off your “lawyer hat”. Talk to people, not at them. Interact, don’t advertise. And, most importantly, share a little bit about yourself and your interests.\n•People are more than their careers. Lawyers are more than their law firms.\n\n\n

- Florida Judicial Ethics Advisory Opinion No. 2009-20 (Nov. 2009): “The issue, however, is not whether the lawyer actually is in a position to influence the judge, but instead whether the proposed conduct, the identification of the lawyer as a “friend” on the social networking site, conveys the impression that the lawyer is in a position to influence the judge.  The Committee concludes that such identification in a public forum of a lawyer who may appear before the judge does convey this impression and therefore is not permitted.”\n
