Providing Legal Information Using Social Media - Part Two

This double workshop will take you to the heart of the virtual world of social media. These new communication tools have become a must for accessing information.

The first part of the workshop will feature two speakers from outside the legal world. They will talk about changes in their fields that have been generated by the use of social media.

The second half of the workshop will look at where the legal community fits as regards social media and examine the impact of these new media. What are the risks and benefits of using these communication tools? Does legal information have to be handled in a special way? Does this mean social media are not a good fit for legal information?

Be tech-savvy and find out about the paradigm shift we must all come to grips with!

This workshop will be simultaneously translated.
