U.S., N.J. Supreme Courts Weigh In
 
How much can your employer know about the content of your e-mails, texts, phone calls and blog posts? If you're using a company-issues device, can you have any expectation of privacy?

Tonight live at 7:00 p.m. on WFMZ-TV 69, The American Law Journal broadcasts "Sexting, Texting, E-Mail and More...  Electronic Communication & Privacy in the Workplace" with corporate defense counsel Anthony Haller of Blank Rome, plaintiffs' attorney Amy Rosenberger of Willig, Williams & Davidson and former Court of Common Pleas Judge the Hon. Gene Cohen. Lewis Maltby of The National Workrights Institute joins the panel.  Host Christopher Naughton leads the discussion that will examine the emergence of one of the most critical issues at the workplace: what expectation of privacy does an individual have, on or off the job?
 
Two high court cases have placed this issue front and center: the U.S. Supreme Court has heard arguments and will shortly render a decision in the Quon case where a California city may have violated a public employee's rights by reading text messages on an electronic device owned by the police department.

New Jersey's state Supreme Court recently ruled in Stengart that an employee could "reasonably expect that e-mail communications with her lawyer to her personal Yahoo account would remain private, and that sending and receiving them via a company laptop did not eliminate the attorney-client privilege that protected them."

The panel will also discuss the monitoring of employee on and off duty conduct, the impact of personal entries on social media (Facebook, YouTube, etc.) and how some companies may now be compelled to rewrite their e-mail and texting policies.
