Florida State Bar may want access to applicants' Facebook pages

ADVERTISEMENTS
This story is flying around the blawgosphere.  The ethics rules require a strong version of candor when applying for the bar, and bars can demand that you provide all sorts of information, but this gives me the creeps.  Among other things, Florida bar regulators have shown such poor judgment on interpreting lawyer advertising that it makes me doubt how well they would read and interpret Facebook pages.  From the story it appears that Florida will not make indiscriminate inquiry into such pages, but will ask to see them only when there is some reason to do so.
