SUMMARY:Getting Paid: Tips\, Techniques and Ethics
DESCRIPTION:Clients can easily become dissatisfied when they don’t understand the lawyer’s fees or billing practices. Lawyers lose money when they fail to capture their time properly and do not approach billing and invoicing from the client’s perspective. Improper billing practices and poor client communication surrounding fees can result in ethics complaints. But by making a few simple changes to your billing and collections practices\, you can improve your collection rates and your relationship with clients. \n\nEthics and Professionalism Credit(s): 0.5\n\n\nLaw Practice Management Credit(s): 0.5\n\n\nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Ethical Issues and Implications on Lawyers’ Use of LinkedIn
DESCRIPTION:Social media sites such as Facebook\, Twitter and LinkedIn have become part of every lawyer’s daily life\, and they can be helpful tools for expanding your professional presence and marketing your practice\, as well as valuable investigative tools. But the same ethical rules that govern lawyers’ conduct also apply to their use of social media\, and that can raise some concerns for lawyers in their use of these tools. \nThis webinar will focus on the ethical use of LinkedIn as a marketing and professional development tool\, but will also touch on broader ethical pitfalls in lawyers’ use of social media in general\, both for marketing purposes and as a litigation tool\, discussing some of the rules and opinions that apply. Some of these issues are: \n\nIs your LinkedIn Profile Advertising?\nStaying away from false or misleading statements\nDo you need a disclaimer on your LinkedIn profiles?\nHow do the solicitation rules apply to LinkedIn?\nDo the “specialties” and “Skills and Endorsements” sections of LinkedIn raise ethical problems?\nShould I ask for client recommendations on LinkedIn?\nConfidentiality issues – what you can and cannot say about clients and cases on LinkedIn and how to communicate ethically with potential clients\nUnauthorized practice of law and inadvertent attorney-client relationships\nWho lawyers can and should connect to on social media\n\nEthics credit available in: \nAlabama\nAlaska\nArizona\nArkansas\nCalifornia\nKansas\nMaine\nMississippi\nMissouri\nNebraska\nNew Jersey\nNew Mexico\nNew York\nOklahoma\nOregon\nPennsylvania\nTennessee\nWyoming \n(This is a “simulive” rebroadcast of a previously recorded presentation. I will be available during the rebroadcast to answer questions.) \nRegister for this broadcast here.

SUMMARY:Missing Links: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About LinkedIn But Were Afraid to Ask
DESCRIPTION:About The Program \nWhether you’re a seasoned LinkedIn user or just a beginner\, you may have some burning questions that you need answered. This program will answer some of the most frequently asked questions from lawyers about their LinkedIn use\, including: \n• I accidentally sent someone (or my whole address book!) an invitation to connect on LinkedIn – can I withdraw it?\n• I want to make changes to my Profile\, but I don’t want everyone in my network to get a message every time I update it. What should I do?\n• Do I need a LinkedIn premium account?\n• What’s the deal with LinkedIn Endorsements? Are they worth it? I’ve heard that lawyers shouldn’t even use the “Skills and Expertise” section of LinkedIn.\n• Are LinkedIn Groups really worth it? How do I make them work for me?\n• I don’t think my clients are really using LinkedIn. Why should I spend time on it? \n
