FL supreme court asked to decide whether lawyers and judges can be Facebook friends

Last summer, the Third District Florida court of appeals affirmed an order refusing to disqualify a judge who was Facebook friends with one of the lawyers in a case before her.  The law firm that had filed the motion to disqualify has now asked the Florida Supreme Court to accept an appeal, citing a split on the issue among Florida state appellate courts.  The Law for Lawyers Today has more details on the story, and some links to more information on the issue, here.

UPDATE 11/4/17:   Brian Faughnan has some comments on the story here.
