It was a cathartic experience to email the Dean of Career Services at my law school and send him the link to my rather critical post on what I thought about his views of social media for law students. Since then, we’ve been working on a plan to create a best-practices guide for law students about their online identity. Topics include harnessing your top Google result to understanding Facebook policies and privacy settings to blogging, commenting and more. There also will be sections geared towards helping law school counselors and administrators, as well as employers, understand the reality of how students use social media.

Needless to say, despite my earlier misgivings about helping other students be competitive, I’m excited to work on this project. Now only to find the time… Maybe I can convince my civil procedure notes to outline themselves. If you have any ideas, I’m all ears (eyes? whatever).
