I had the recent pleasure of doing an in-service training for a state agency. When my daughter learned that I would be speaking on social media, she emailed me (because I don’t tweet, snap, vine or text) and asked what I knew about this stuff that qualified me to be giving such a talk. She pointed out that my Facebook page has about six friends, and I never “liked” a photo posted by my godson about six months ago. Guilty.
Younger folks are much more linked-in to all this than I am. One exception to the “younger-is-hipper” rule is Fairfield, Connecticut, attorney Fred Ury, who is constantly challenging the profession to throw off the yoke of old ways and march boldly into at least the mid-20th century. He is working on a new book for the American Bar Association on the future of law and lawyering, and convinced me to do a chapter on the future of lawyer regulation, ethics and discipline. During one of our discussions, he told me to look at Snapchat and consider some of the legal issues it might pose.
