The example in this case is obviously commercial speech. Defined by the SCOTUS as "speech which beckons business or proposes a commercial transaction." It is therefore subject to advertising rules of the State Bar. <BR/><BR/>With only 140 characters it's impossible to add the appropriate disclaimer for a solicitation. Yet, although personally I find this an offensive use of Twitter, it begs a question in my mind, if the attorney uses commercial speech in a Tweet can they simply add a tiny url link to a Web page on their site with the full disclaimer? Would that cover it? Probably not, but I'd be interested in other opinions.jayne navarrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16543735126450271914noreply@blogger.com
