Ok #appellatetwitter / #legalwriting fam.

There are so many great threads for law students and lawyers. But after a few days they disappear.

I am working on a way to compile and display them for posterity.

Reply👇 with your favorite lawyer advice 🧵 suggestions to add.
I’ll start with a few @CecereCarl on writing.
The Dean @RMFifthCircuit on oral argument
Today from @KSVesq on networking (which inspired this idea)!
These evergreen threads will help start the database. I am going to get a minimum viable product up soon!
Self nominations are not only appreciated they are strongly encourage (you know your best Tweets and Threads better than I do)!
I also love this one by @bethwilensky on organization using J. Kagan's opinions.

And another great one this time about taking law school exams from @ojsalinas

And @aerwrites on outlining.

Would also love to pull in some of the best #practicetuesday threads thanks to @RachelGurvich and @smmarotta
Prototype up at lawthread.com

🚨 Do you like advice tweets and threads for law students and lawyers?

I just started lawthread.com where I'll compile the best ones.

This is a *super* first draft. The internet is WILD. Idea to prototype in 16 hours.

Want to help? Read below.
I started with the tweets suggested in response to my post but I want to build out the library over time. Please tell me what you think I should include new and old (self nomination encouraged).

Want to make a recommendation ?

1⃣DM me
2⃣E-mail me
3⃣Tag with #LawThread
As with any curation project the bias of the curator plays a role. If you disagree with my choices, I won't be offended. I hope this will inspire you to create your own library. My main goal is for this advice not to disappear. I hope you will benefit from the site!

Dear New #1Ls,

You are probably taking a course called #LegalWriting, Legal Practice, or Legal Analysis.

You may be thinking "I know how to write" or "I can sneak by this one" or "I'll just focus on other classes."

On day 1, I was like you.

Pro Tip: Don't be me.

🧵👇👇👇
1/ So much of #1L year is learning to "think like a lawyer."

This course (full disclosure: I teach it at @GeorgetownLaw) introduces you how to write, read, analyze, research, and act like a lawyer (and some thinking too).

Do those skills sound important? They are.
2/ It is essential to know what the law "says" and how the law got to where it did. But in law school and in practice if you cannot communicate that analysis in a way that legal readers (or other legal audience) expects all that hard work is wasted.
