Abstract

This chapter examines the development of social media in relation to its impact on the law, legal system, and legal profession of England and Wales, considering other jurisdictions such as the United States of America and Australia. The author analyses the convergence between the opposing forces of legal certainty and control on the one hand, and mass, unrestrained social media on the other. In particular, the author reviews the challenges presented by the use of social media in modern society: in particular, a sophisticated legal system across a range of jurisdictions. The effect of social media is considered alongside the individual responses in each scenario, their effectiveness, and then, finally, the intuitional responses of the legal profession, lawmakers, and the judiciary as a whole to the rise of social media.
