First Amendment Issues for Government Employers with Private Social Media Posts of their Employees

Format: Live Webinar (virtual)
Location: Online via WebEx
Description: News of online campaigns pressuring employers to fire employees who made controversial posts to their private social media accounts flooded our feeds last year. While private employers have nearly boundless leeway to fire employees for speech that they disagree with, government employers’ options are limited because of the First Amendment. This CLE will give government lawyers necessary information to aid their determination if a government employee’s speech on their private social media account is likely First Amendment protected speech.

CLE Credit: The Office will apply for 1.25 standard CLE credits.
Registration: To register, click this link and fill out the form.
