Social Networking / Web 2.0 Revolution

This morning I presented to the Association of Legal Administrators. They asked me to give the view as a lawyer, law firm client, former legal administrator and blogger on what law firms should know about web 2.0. I also mixed risks, policies and compliance issues.

The crowd was a diverse bunch in terms of how they use the tools personally and at their law firms.

Here are the materials, with references and links to tools I mentioned in the presentation.

Here is a link to my social media policies database.

This session is for those who don’t know about social networking and want to find out what it is and how it is used.

Here is the slidedeck on the basics of how law firms and legal administrators can use these tools:

The afternoon session is with Henry Chace and Scott Katz of Burns & Levinson LLP. We will focus on the potential benefits, which tools are appropriate, and useful, in a professional environment, and the pitfalls to be aware of as you deal with the social networking tools.
