Social media and blogs now covered on law course

The Law Society of Ireland has had to significantly expand its provision of courses to keep up with the sweeping changes in social media, blogging and technology.

While the society has been running technology-related courses for a number of years, demand has increased “exponentially” in recent times.

Following its “massive online open course” last year, ‘Privacy, a Human Right for the Digital Age’, which saw 2,682 people sign up from various backgrounds and 30 countries worldwide, the society realised the demand for information in this area, from the public and professionals.
