How Not to be Stupid on the Internet:
Ethical and Legal Risks of Attorney Marketing in the Digital Age
What should you do if a judge endorses you on LinkedIn?  How should you respond if a client comments on your Facebook Timeline that you are the "best lawyer ever!!"? What images can you use on your blawg?
This CLE will help you learn how to use (and not use) the modern tools of attorney marketing, including blawgs, listservs, Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook.
Look for it Friday, Jan. 24, at 9:15-10:45 a.m., during the 124th Annual Meeting, held in collaboration with the Old Dominion Bar Association.

JDPlus: What's the Plus?
An Ambitious Plan to Cultivate, Assess and Select for Practice-Ready Attributes in Law Students and Junior Lawyers
For more than a year, the LPMD has embraced the  JDPlus initiative as its flagship project. Members of the LPMD and a core of devoted volunteers have delved into new ideas to help new lawyers, law offices and legal clients. At a General Session at the last Annual Meeting, the panel "Scholars to Dollars: Transitioning Law School Grads into Proficient, Productive and Profitable Lawyers" started this discussion. A summit meeting at the State Capitol and additional discussions during the Summer Meeting and via conference calls followed.
Get swept up in the ambitious plan during this general session program, Saturday, Jan. 25, at 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
