Join the Texas Appellate Law Group on LinkedIn
LinkedIn has become a useful networking tool for professionals, and lawyers are no exception. Six months ago, the number of lawyer profiles on LinkedIn was estimated at just under 120,000. As more lawyers become educated about the value of social media, there's no telling how high that number will climb.
With that in mind, I have started a Texas Appellate Law Group to facilitate conversation and collaboration among trial and appellate lawyers, in-house counsel, and other professionals working on matters before Texas appellate courts and the Fifth Circuit.
LinkedIn explains the Groups concept this way:
Many professionals advance their careers and business goals by counting on industry and professional groups, alumni organizations, industry conferences and corporate alumni groups to help them make vital new business contacts. LinkedIn Groups offers extra features to group-based organizations to help their members stay in touch with one another and discover powerful new business contacts within their groups and beyond.
LinkedIn has added several new features to Groups this year, including a discussion capability, a searchable directory of the various groups, and the ability to search for people within groups.
