While there is so much talk about how blogs, social media, and the web in general, are useful to lawyers from a marketing standpoint, there is very little about how these tools impact other facets of the legal profession.
Anne Reed’s post A Trial Lawyer’s Guide To Social Networking Sites, reminded me that regardless of whether us lawyers are using blogs and social media, jurors are.
This is yet another example of why “being in the conversation” is simply no longer a choice.
When the internet went mainstream, we were amazed about the speed at which information was being exchanged. Well guess what, as blogs and social media enter the fray, they make the early internet feel like a dinosaur.
So, go on. Keep ignoring the conversation. Dismiss the blogosphere as quaint. Bash social media as a waste of time. Not only will your resistance lose you clients, it may just end up losing you cases.
