This article is written by Anshal Dhiman, pursuing BA.LLB (Hons.). The article presents a list of 100 legal professionals on Twitter who are a great follow for anyone related to law.
Introduction
Social media is a fascinating place, isn’t it? Connecting with people outside our physical reach has become so much easier with social media. It started off as a fun place to connect with our friends who are not physically close to us due to geographical reasons, but in the last decade or so, social media has taken a professional turn too. Professionals from different fields and areas have taken to social media to promote themselves, or their businesses, or their fields, in a positive way. In recent times we can also notice some businesses which have started on social media through platforms like Twitter, Instagram etc. All these have had a positive effect on their businesses and the people they are trying to reach through these platforms. In this article, we will talk about some lawyers or legal professionals whom you should follow on the platform, mainly because of the content that they post, which might be helpful for both students and fresh professionals who are just starting off their careers in the legal field.
Twitter for legal professionals
Twitter is a crazy social media platform in itself. When it started, it was used mostly by celebrities and influential characters who shared great popularity amongst the masses. In recent times it has been used by people around the world for various purposes. It has been a political hotspot with people fighting over their ideologies and backing their favoured politicians and political celebrities from trolls on the platform.
Not all lawyers in India have a soft spot for Twitter and see it as a distraction, not all of them share the view. Twitter is not really the most professional platform on the internet, a reason which might keep orthodox legal professionals away from it. But it is surely one of the most convenient social media platforms out there since platforms like Facebook and Instagram are used by people to share funny stuff and promote fashion brands, something legal professionals would not want to be involved in if they are to share their practical experiences of the field. LinkedIn is a good platform for professionals, but some of its features are paid, which restricts it to only those who can afford to pay for a social media platform, and this group of people is not very crowded at least at present in our country.
Other platforms become irrelevant in front of these platforms since they enjoy huge market shares in the social media field. It is noticeable that Twitter is the only viable option left for those selected legal professionals who’d want to share their wisdom with upcoming lawyers or legal professionals. In the next section of the article, I have mentioned 100 lawyers/legal professionals who are active on Twitter and are a great account to follow. It must be noticed that in no sense does this article compare any lawyer, it just talks about those accounts which impart great legal wisdom that should be heard by young aspirants. Also, the list is in no particular order, the numbers do not in any way rank those accounts.
