Meanwhile, after publishing a special edition on “Web 2.0 and the Lost Generation,” in 2009, the Boston Bar Journal (BBJ) in its Spring edition published an article by Massachusetts Superior Court Judge Linda E. Giles called “Does Justice Go Off Track When Jurors Go Online?” This summer, BBJ readers can look forward to reading an article that will focus on the ethical boundaries for lawyers using social media as a marketing tool, and the question of how a law firm can “regulate” what its hundreds and perhaps thousands of lawyers are doing on social networking sites.
