Social Media Law Student
"One goal of the site is to connect lawyers to new technologies in hopes of making the practice of law easier—both inside and outside of the courtroom. Another goal is to share information about the practice of law, discuss, debate, and hopefully demystify some of the myths about those in the legal profession." Posts cover how law students, lawyers and law school career offices can better utilize social media for professional networking.
