  • Twitter Debate about Virtual Law Practice

    UPDATE: The transcript from the Twitter debate is posted on the ABA Journal.  Overall, the feedback I received from others regarding the event was positive.  A lot of valuable information and opinions shared on both sides with some fun side debates, including one started by @LisaSolomon. Looking forward to the next event hosted by @22Tweets!

    Please join me and Brian Tennebaum as we debate virtual law practice on Twitter this Friday at 2pm EST.  The hastag to follow is #22TwDb.  Richard Granat, a mentor and fellow leader in the field of virtual law practice has already published an entertaining blog post  in preparation of the debate.  I was also going to prepare 140 character tweets ahead of time, but I think I’ll accept the challenge of thinking out responses at the keyboard as they come to me.  Looking forward to a productive and educational dialogue!
