A San Diego County Bar Association ethics committee concludes that sending a Facebook "friend request" to a represented party violates California Rule of Professional Conduct 2-100 and could be cause for discipline. The opinion's author says its the first to confront exparte communication through social media. Bottom line is that a divorce lawyer can't "friend" the other party in a case. |
