Dear Members,

With the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), we recognize that you are all managing unprecedented legal challenges. ACC is a valuable resource that you can leverage as you navigate these uncertain times and those that may be on the horizon. With that in mind, we have developed this virtual space for our members to share ideas, resources, and best-practices with one another – providing a haven of support.

Additionally, ACC has produced a Coronavirus (COVID-19) Collection (updated daily) to reference for information and practical tools around this issue. Please visit this page in our resource library to review relevant take-aways, articles, and virtual educational programs.

We look forward to hearing your thoughts and solutions as we all advance through this situation together.

The Rules of Professional Responsibility, as well as many state bar rules, come into play when attorneys use—or fail to use—social media. Join us on Wednesday, October 16 at 2 PM EDT for a refresher on ethical considerations for attorneys who use social media, including:

• Duty of technological competence 
• Privacy and security 
• Public vs. private social media information 
• Admissibility of social media evidence 
• Blogging and endorsements
