In re: Florida Bar Rules – Computer Access to Communications
Case Number(s):
SC08-1181

Transcript:

Summary:

The Florida Bar is asking the Court to approve proposed changes to the rules regulating the way lawyers advertise using websites, e-mail and other computer-accessed advertisements. The recommendation concerning websites proposes a position in between full application of all lawyer advertising rules and no regulation. Under the Bar's proposal, a lawyer's homepage would have to comply with all substantive lawyer advertising regulations, while other portions of the website would only have to comply with some of the lawyer advertising requirements.
