“…That’s because Criss, a state court judge who is learning to adapt to social media as a way to connect with long-lost friends and is leveraging Facebook as a judicial campaign tool, has also learned a few things she didn’t expect.
Biggest surprise: Even lawyers don’t fully grasp how public social media is, even when privacy controls are in place.
“Anyone can cut and paste,” said Criss, who was part of a Friday ABA Annual Meeting program “Courts and Media in the 21st Century: Twitterers, Bloggers, the New Media, the Old Media, and What’s a Judge to Do?” sponsored by the ABA’s Judicial Division.
Criss recalled one time that a lawyer asked for a continuance because of the death of her father. The lawyer had earlier posted a string of status updates on Facebook, detailing her week of drinking, going out and partying. But in court, in front of Criss, she told a completely different story.”

Hi Alison,
I’m sorry to hear of your misfortune. You are living in Australia? Then you need to talk with an Australian attorney about your situation. I’m in the USA.
Regards,
Randy Wilson
