CHICAGO, Feb. 25, 2013 Judges may participate in electronic social networking, but as with all social relationships and contacts, they must comply with relevant judicial ethics provisions, according to a new ethics opinion from the American Bar Association.

Formal Opinion 462, Judges Use of Electronic Social Networking Media, also calls on jurists to avoid conduct that would undermine their independence, integrity or impartiality, or create an appearance of impropriety.

The opinion, issued by the ABA Standing Committee on Ethics and Professional Responsibility, discusses factors for judges to consider when participating in social media, such as sharing comments and photos; being friended or otherwise associated with potential or current parties, counsel, witnesses, jurors or other litigation participants; and campaigning for office or supporting a political candidate. The ethics opinion also discusses considerations for possible disclosure of such activities to parties in a case and disqualification from hearing a case if necessary.

The opinion cites various state ethics opinions on judges use of social media and relevant portions of the ABA Model Code of Judicial Conduct, which serves as the basis for state judicial ethics cannons.

The ABA Standing Committee on Ethics and Professional Responsibility periodically issues ethics opinions to guide lawyers, courts and the public in interpreting and applying ABA model ethics rules to specific issues of legal practice, client-lawyer relationships and judicial behavior.

Formal Opinion 462 and other ABA ethics opinions are available at the ABA Center for Professional Responsibilitys website, http://www.americanbar.org/cpr.

With nearly 400,000 members, the American Bar Association is one of the largest voluntary professional membership organizations in the world.As the national voice of the legal profession, the ABA works to improve the administration of justice, promotes programs that assist lawyers and judges in their work, accredits law schools, provides continuing legal education, and works to build public understanding around the world of the importance of the rule of law.

While schoolyard bullying continues to be a problem for many Canadian teens, it appears that bullies are adapting their tactics through 21st century methods. Many of today's bullies are taking their hostilities out online through social networking sites, sometimes using mobile technology.

According to findings in a recent issue of the Ipsos Interactive Reid Report, one-in-five (20%) online teens say they have witnessed someone they know being bullied on social networking sites. Close to one-in-ten (8%) say they themselves have been victims of online bullying on social networking sites.

The scope of the problem increases when online teens are asked if they have seen or been victims of mean or inappropriate comments on social networking sites. Over one-third (35%) of Canadian teens with a profile on a social networking site say they have seen postings of mean or inappropriate comments about someone they know, and one-in-seven (14%) say they have seen these types of comments about themselves on social networks.

These issues, coupled with the increasing use by Canadian teens of mobile devices with access to social networking sites, raises some alarms that bullying runs the potential of becoming a mobile problem.

"In the past year we've seen ownership of smartphones among teens increase significantly, which certainly gives teens greater unsupervised access to social networking sites than ever before," says Dave Pierzchala, Senior Vice President and Managing Director with Ipsos Reid in Vancouver. "This just emphasizes how important awareness and education about bullying and how to stop it are to our youth."

The Ipsos study showed that among online Canadian teens, ownership of smartphones is up 18 percentage points (43%) since 2012. Likewise, ownership of MP3 players, such as the web-enabled Apple iPod Touch, has increased ten percentage points with 61% of online Canadian teens owning one.

"These findings show that bullying has moved from face-to-face, to cyber-bullying, to mobile-bullying," adds Pierzchala. "Unfortunately, bullies have gained further access to our children and society must play a role in raising the awareness of mobile-bullying."
