Social Media Defamation: Tweeting Can Get You Sued (2015) (Audio Only)

1.0 MCLE Credits in Professional Practice

During this panel discussion, faculty members will review the elements of defamation and walk through its application in social media, focusing on the opinion/fact divide in 140 characters, implications of using the Twitter API and retweeting, and determining damages based on a post’s audience.
 

Although judges have had few opportunities to opine on these issues from the bench, and the social media ecosystem develops rapidly, panelists will provide attorneys with the information they need to navigate this unfolding area of practice.
