I really liked the mix of legal case law and real-world case studies. The speakers were very informed about the issues and the presentation (both in print and in audio form) were well done.

howard (bath, NY)

Since I am a social media user, I found the course very helpful, a cautionary tale of several of the pitfalls of online use, as well as some of the advantages. A discussion of caselaw and statutes (e.g. COPPA)was also interesting.

Steven (Chicago, IL)

Great course. Because I practice and write in the area of Internet law, some of the material was new for me, but it was still very useful. The presenters gave me some new ideas to consider and offered plenty of examples of how one can use social media policies effectively. Thanks.

This information is for beginners. The course is not designed for more advanced practitioners. I was hoping to acquire new knowledge.

A very helpful introduction to the area.

Kathleen (staten island, NY)

Lots of good insights about social media!

Michael (New York, NY)

A well presented very general introduction to the legal implications of the world of social media. I was disappointed that the new FTC guidelines regarding endorsements/testimonials was not mentioned in the context of Social Media Policies.

Thomas (New York, NY)

All of the presenters were excellent. Engaging, informative, lively. This course is top notch.

Robert (Buffalo, NY)

Attorneys really need to get up to speed on this topic even though there are many areas of unsettled law.

Martin (Evanston, IL)

The attorneys who made the presentation gave valuable insight into this area of the law, involving the internet. This area is obviously growing into a major area of practice.

Craig (Wayne, IL)

It was only an overview of intenet issues, it was not very "practical," did not deal directly with "social media" and not dealing with "policies." Good information for a beginner, but it was an introduction only.

Jesse (Chicago, IL)

Very interesting subject, especially today with how relevant social media is.

Thomas (Evanston, IL)

Necessary for practitioners to understand the realities of this new field.

very helpful

burgeoning area for solo practitioners and small firms
