Upcoming Panel: "Online Communities for Your NonProfit: Legal Aspects of Social Media"
As is readily apparent around here, I am at best a sporadic legal blogger. I have periods of time when I'm fairly active with my posts, and other (sometimes long) stretches of time when I seem to disappear. I'm more consistent with my social media outreach, particularly on Twitter, but even there I could be much more prolific. I'm happy to say, however, that it looks like 2011 will be much busier on both fronts.
It kicks off for me in two weeks, when I get to appear on a panel with one of my legal blogging heroes, Dennis Kennedy. The program is entitled "Communities for Your Nonprofit: Legal Aspects of Social Media" and it will be presented at the Schlafly branch of the St. Louis Public Library on Thursday, January 20 at 3:00 p.m. (Scroll down to Jan. 20) Also on the panel will be a new colleague, Elizabeth Cox, a fellow intellectual property and entertainment lawyer in St. Louis. Check out her blog, Design/Sing/Act/Write/Law, and come out and see us if you're in St. Louis.
There's more good news on the way, too -- including growth at The BrickHouse Law Group (in the form of an old friend and fellow legal blogger) and a move to a new office (in an old brick building, of course!). Stay tuned -- I'll be back.
