This Is What A Defamation Lawyer Sounds Like . . .

Posted on July 14, 2009 by Adrianos Facchetti

I had the great privilege to be a part of the Entertainment Law Update: Episode 3: Bloggers, Journalists, and Defamation. Click here to listen to the recording and hear what a defamation lawyer sounds like.

Why should you listen?

  • You'll learn how bloggers can take advantage of a law that was originally intended to protect reporters (I've never mentioned this on the California Defamation Law Blog before!).
  • You'll learn what Sarah Palin and Michael Jackson have in common.
  • If you're an attorney, you may be eligible to receive MCLE credit.

And a whole lot more!

[Editor's note: a previous version of this post stated incorrectly that MCLE credit would be FREE. MCLE credit will be offered eventually for a nominal fee.]

In this interactive session we will explore the buzz surrounding social networking and social media tools and how solo and small firms practitioners can effectively employ them to communicate with current clients; control your messaging as you reach out to new clients and the media; and to meet, network and collaborate with colleagues.

Our panel of solo and small firm attorneys will discuss their experiences with blogging as a social media tool, and we will spotlight several social networking applications, including Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. By calling upon their personal experiences, our panel will highlight best practices for how you can incorporate these and other Web 2.0 applications into your business development, PR and networking activities.
