The torts section of the Delaware State Bar Association is scheduled to hold a hybrid CLE seminar titled “Torts and Social Media.”

This seminar is set to look at how online conduct can lead towards lawsuits and how to deal with them. Online torts deal with the interactions between consumers, companies and users all controlled by user agreements, but how do these contracts affect which jurisdictions law can be applied, where lawsuits can be filed, the remedies and arbitration? During this seminar, the speakers are to dive into what laws can be applied to online tortious activity and how to address these cases, how intellectual property and probate law come into play, and how laws have evolved to address online property rights and civil liability.
