About Lawyer Internet Advertising
Ethics and Lawyer Blogs - Much of the initial dialogue surrounding e-mail and Web sites in the mid-1990s revolved around their uses for marketing purposes. Lawyers asked their state ethics committees for advisory opinions on whether it was ethical to advertise on the Internet. Uniformly, the responses came that it is ethical to advertise on the Internet as long as the way the lawyer advertises on the Internet is ethical. While that may seem like circular reasoning that fails to provide much direction, it is actually very helpful. These opinions made it clear that lawyers must comply with the existing rules, regardless of how well, or how poorly, those rules fit.
