New Edition: Social Media and the Law
Social Media and the Law (2026 Edition) examines the use of social media in various legal contexts, such as privacy, civil litigation, employment, criminal activity and prosecution, intellectual property, defamation, advertising, and regulated industries. This treatise discusses relevant legislation, court opinions, usage trends, and industry responses.
Highlights of this new edition include:
- Chapter 1, The Social Media Landscape and Chapter 5, Defamation, Other Torts, and Related Cybercrimes, both discuss the March 2026 jury verdict against Meta platforms and Alphabet, owner of Google, in the case where the plaintiffs alleged that the Instagram, Facebook and YouTube platforms are intentionally designed to cause addiction and related mental and physical ailments to children and teens
- Chapter 6, Employment and Workplace Issues, covers an additional finding from the National Labor Relations Board in which a plaintiff’s social media posts regarding her workplace conditions were considered concerted activity and therefore covered by Section 7 of the NLRA
- Chapter 9, Crimes, Prosecution, and Evidence, addresses the signing of the TAKE IT DOWN Act (Tools to Address Known Exploitation by Immobilizing Technological Deepfakes on Websites and Networks Act) into law, covering the requirements of social media sites and apps to establish notice and removal procedures. This chapter also covers a recent federal district court decision that suggests using AI for legal communicans may waive attorney-client privilege and expose those communications in litigation

New Skills Book: Unprecedented: Designing a Human-Centered Law Firm When Everything Is Changing
Unprecedented: Designing a Human-Centered Law Firm When Everything Is Changing focuses on the ways in which law firms can reinvent themselves amid seismic change in the legal industry. Themes are examined through the lens of a fictional law firm, as it conducts a week-long retreat designed to confront disruptive forces such as generative AI, client power shifts, hybrid work, and outdated economic models.
The story reveals the messy human realities of change: fear, resistance, hope, and the courage to design something better. Along the way, readers gain insight into design thinking, change management, lawyer development, client centric service delivery, and alternative pricing—presented not as abstract theory but as lived experience inside a firm fighting for its future.
Reading like a page-turner, each chapter is filled with practical tools such as reflection questions, frameworks, agendas, and exercises—such as an empathy workshop and empathy interviews, providing readers with a model they can adapt to their own organizations. The result is an engaging, accessible blueprint for law firm leaders, legal innovators, academics, and other legal professionals who want to shape the next era of practice rather than be shaped by it.
