Social Media Policies
Out of the 85% of judicial officers who visit social media sites and work in a court or tribunal that does not have a policy on personal use – whether official or unofficial – 42% believe that it would be useful for their organization to develop such a policy (34% disagree, 24% are unsure).
As for the 79% working where there is no policy on professional use of social media, a stronger 73% believe a policy would be useful (13% disagree, 14% are unsure).
![Page 44: “Coping with Social Media” BC Council of Administrative Tribunals 2014 Conference Patrick Cormier Quebec Bar CCCT CEO (2011 – 2014) VP Business Development](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649cfe5503460f949cfb1b/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Privacy & Security ConcernsIn regards to perceived risks where limited precautions can be taken by the user of social media, the survey results potentially reflect an elevated concern about security and privacy amongst judicial officers.
When asked about major social media websites like Facebook and LinkedIn, 36% of judicial officers feel that their computer and the electronic documents it contains are secure while using such sites (32% disagree, 31% are unsure).
As for the online account itself, only 24% feel that they are secure (45% disagree, 31% are unsure).

In the context of hearing a case, do you research background
information (other than legal issues) on
social media?
If you do conduct such research, do you
disclose that fact to the parties?
