A national lawyer association ethically may place its membership directory on its Internet web site, categorized by practice areas. See Arizona Opinion 99-10 (September 1999).

It is proper for an Ohio lawyer to be listed in the online membership directory of a professional association. Opinion 99-3 (June 4, 1999).

The opinion notes that it should not be construed as blanket approval of attorney listings in other types of online directories.
