Following that, Chris shifted his focus to "Ethical Responsibilities Regarding Non-Lawyer Assistants," discussing the proper guidance and supervision of non-attorney professional staff while exploring the ethical dimensions of their employment. Lastly, in "Ethics in a Social Media World," Chris provided a comprehensive guide to navigating social media professionally, addressing advertising, relationships, and confidentiality issues, and shedding light on common problems specific to widely-used social media platforms, all while sharing real-world examples of legal mishaps from across the nation.
