Real Lawyers Have Blogs : Law Blogs, Social Media, Twitter

LexBlog and Kevin O'Keefe are hosting a Beer for Bloggers in New York on Wednesday, May 4 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at McGee's Pub following the PLI seminar on social media for lawyers. McGee's is at 240 West 55th Street, between Broadway and 8th Avenue.

You don't need to be a blogging lawyer to join. Lawyers, marketing/business development professionals, and those serving the legal profession are invited - even if you don't blog.

Kevin is in New York this week to chair an all-day seminar entirely devoted to educating lawyers on how they can utilize social media to enhance their professional lives hosted by Practising Law Institute.

The seminar can be atended either in-person at PLI headquarters in New York City or via live webcast—you can still register for both.

Kevin gets into New York Tuesday evening and will be in town through early Thursday evening. He'd welcome the opportunity to get together for coffee or a bite to eat.

You can reach him on his cell at (206) 321-3627, shoot him an email, or send him a message via Twitter.

I'm part of a panel today for the Practising Law Institute's Understanding Disclosure in Blogging and Social Media live audio Webcast. The program runs from 1 to 2 ET and offers 1 hour of CLE.

The program, put on in conjunction with the Blog Council, is for internal counsel and other legal advisors who are drafting new employee policy, amending existing rules, or those who simply want a better understanding of the liabilities and opportunities inherent in these new communications tools.

It is billed in part as:

Today's knowledge workers live in a 24-7 mash-up world of business blogs, personal blogs, Facebook, Twitter, and other social media. But the lowering of the bar to self-expression brings along expectations of openness. Transparency has become standard operating procedure, and corporations (and the agencies that work on their behalf) need to familiarize themselves with the new rules for interacting with the social media community appropriately.

The program will highlight the Blog Council's recently published draft series of checklists called the Disclosure Best Practices Toolkit.

I'm appearing with Blog Council CEO Andy Sernovitz, John Pope, Digital Media Senior Manager at Dell Inc., and Laurie Steuri, Associate Director of External Relations at Procter & Gamble Co.
