The Oregon State Bar ruled that a Lawyer may access publicly available information on a social networking website. The lawyer may request access to nonpublic information if the person is not represented by counsel in that matter and no actual representation of disinterest is made by lawyer. To access nonpublic information on a social networking website, a lawyer may need to make a specific request to the holder of the account. The lawyer may not advise or supervise the use of deception in obtaining access to nonpublic information unless Oregon RPC 8.4(b) applies.
