Law schools are catching on.  Like thousands of colleges and universities, law schools are now using Twitter to communicate with law students and the rest of the world.

The central advantage of using Twitter to communicate is the immediacy of the message delivery. Using Twitter to message students can help avoid the problem of some students not receiving emails (for whatever reason) because now there is a single webpage (a Twitter feed) for all announcements.  Law schools are posting links and updating students about events through Twitter.

Twitter also promotes law school websites.  Most law school websites are updated frequently but no one can keep track of all the updates.  However, a law school’s Twitter feed can update simultaneously with the school’s website updates thus providing a central place for law schools to communicate with students and the community about the law school.

Law schools are informing students about snow delays, on campus events, website updates, and student accomplishments.  Law professors are even jumping on adding announcements to these Twitter pages.

Here is a list of law schools using Twitter.  What is your law school waiting for?  (Here’s their invitation!)
