Pro Bono Barrister: Bay Ridge lawyers view social media, criminal law
When members of the Bay Ridge Lawyers Association, led by President Joann Monaco, get together for their next-CLE accredited dinner meeting, they will explore what has become a leading topic of our times: “Social Media Issues You Should Be Aware Of.”
This session gets underway promptly at 6 p.m. at Hunter’s Steak & Ale House near 94th Street in Bay Ridge.
Since the guest lecturer is Kings Criminal Court Judge Matthew Sciarrino, the participating barristers will be able to discuss various connections between the free-wielding web and associated criminal behavior.
They could hear about the misdeeds, and possible punishment of, web stalkers or the ominously growing arena of identify theft and worse. Or they could discuss the role of web technology — Droids, iPads, etc. — in courtrooms.
