The Case for Social Media (a MyLegal.com production)

September 25, 2010

If you are going to work in a virtual environment, you really need to understand and utilize social media … It is no longer enough to have a web presence or a blog; you need to be seen and heard on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Justia, MyLegal, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

So, let me tell you about MyLegal.com’s upcoming Social Media event …The Case for Social Media.

This 1-day conference, will be held at Georgetown University Hotel & Conference Center in Washington DC on October 21st, 2010.

MyLegal.com is bringing together expert speakers to discuss topics ranging from which social media platforms make the most sense for your practice, to converting online contacts into new clients, to navigating the ethical and compliance issues behind social media.

Please visit http://www.mylegalmedia.com to register and to get more information.

Both paralegals and lawyers will learn how to leverage social media tools like LinkedIn, Twitter and Justia to build their practices. The goal is to help legal professionals effectively compete and capture new business, and increase their visibility and that of their firm.

Again, registration and everything you need to know about the conference is available at http://mylegalmedia.com/.

I hope to see you there!
