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).
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!
For now I am building this so I can update easily and quick. I created a @NotionHQ page and am sharing it to Web via super.so. There is some minimal cost for all of this (around $150 for a year) so I may use a different method someday. We'll see.
If you enjoy the resource please share it. Also if you are interested, I host a weekly podcast called #HowILawyer that talks to lawyers from around the profession about what they do, why they do it, and how they do it well.
One last thing for now (then I have to go grade some papers). By tagging tweets and tweet threads with #lawthread not only will I be able to add to website but others can search for them later. Just an idea.

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.
