Real Lawyers To Stage Road Show at Clio Cloud Conference

Real Lawyers Road Show Clio Cloud Conference

Real Lawyers will be staging a road show at the Clio Cloud Conference in San Diego next Monday and Tuesday.

Real Lawyers has staged road shows in close to 100 cities across the United States, Canada and Europe over the last fifteen years.

We’ll be there live video interviewing legal tech entrepreneurs, legal bloggers who are connecting with people and advancing the law, speakers (the likes of whom are not seen at other legal conferences), and attendees.

People’s stories – the highs, the lows, the advances they have made to serve others, and the impact this had on themselves and their families is the stuff that the life is made of.

It’s these stories Real Lawyers is after – to shine a light on our guest and their work.

Real Lawyers, as it always has, will:

Conduct interviews on Facebook Live
Run the interviews on YouTube, with a transcript following, on Real Lawyers
Sharing the interviews across Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook
With Real Lawyers being a member of the LexBlog network, LexBlog, closing on 30,000 bloggers strong, will run the interviews across its site and via its Twitter and Facebook accounts.

Real Lawyers will be on Facebook Live on my Facebook from about 12 ET through 8 ET, each Monday and Tuesday.

We have a number of people scheduled to be on Real Lawyers at Clio. If you are interested in being on, drop me an email, kevin@lexblog.com, or call/text, 206-321-3627. You can also reach LexBlog’s associate editor, Melissa Lin, who is producing Real Lawyers at Clio, at melisa@lexblog.com.

I have really enjoyed my association and friendship with Jack and the Clio team, since the company’s inception.

Clio’s conference is so much more than other legal conferences. Clio Con, as I’ve always called it, focuses on advancing lives for the better. The lives of lawyers and their families and the lives of the people we serve who have no effective access to legal services.

Lawyers leave Clio Con empowered and inspired.

Real Lawyers road show at Clio hopes to capture a slice of the “Clio community and cause” in action. To hear and shine a light on the drive, courage and vision of those bringing change to the business of law, for good.

I hope you’ll feel inspired by watching.

LexBlog Con Can Provide Legal Companies and Law Firms an Opportunity to Connect With Influencers

Imagine a “LexBlog Con” where leading legal brands from startups to traditional larger players to law firms are offered the opportunity to connect with legal bloggers. After all, legal bloggers are quickly supplanting reporters and traditional media as the influencers of our legal community. From a blogger attendee, today, at BlogHer19 in Brooklyn. Day 1 of @BlogHer was wonderful. So many amazing brands to connect with #blogher19 #blogherpro #blogherlife #blogherstyle #blogherhealth19 #womenslifestyle #lifestyleblogger #lifestyleblog pic.twitter.com/IIcVrg9apz — Mademoiselle Skinner (@guestlistblog) September 18, 2019 There may not be a better way for legal industry companies to connect with the biggest influencers in legal than a conference of legal bloggers, ala LexBlog Con. LexBlog Con could start as simple as BlogHer did years ago and, as we had discussed for this last year, as a larger meetup of legal bloggers for a day of blogger education and networking. But ...

What if law schools were charged with never letting a student fail on their dreams?

What if law schools were charged with never letting a student fail on their dreams? In this story from Notre Dame Magazine, I’m reminded of Emil T Hofman, a chemistry prof at Notre Dame for four decades and Dean of the Freshman Year of Studies for about three decades, who felt 18-year-olds were too young to know what they wanted, much less to fail on their dreams. Farther Ted Hesburgh, then president of the university and Emil T (as he was both affectionately and hatedly called on campus) did as much as anyone other than my parents shaping my belief that anything you can dream is possible. Emil T figured that If Notre Dame accepts the best students they should be treated right. That meant giving them a flexible academic program with time to decide on a major, and helping them to succeed and like the University. I remember to this day sitting in Emil T’s office, which almost on top of the Grotto telling him I was failing, that I totally blew it by going for an engineering degree a...

Twitter is better all around for lawyers at 280 characters than 140

When I saw that Twitter was considering increasing its character limit from 140 characters, I saw it as a bad thing. A company struggling in the financial community’s eyes making changes for the sake of change – not vision. I also saw an increase as making for a poor user experience. People would start to use Twitter for more than it is, short quips with a link for getting more. People who don’t know how to use social media, often marketers and communication professionals, would broadcast more, believing more characters was more, not less. And with longer tweets, the ability to scroll would be harder as columns on Twitter’s home page and lists would be twice as long. I was wrong. Twitter with the 280 character is a better experience — and more valuable for those looking to learn, share, engage, nurture relationships and build a name. All the stuff smart lawyers and other professionals are after. Leading technologist and the inventor of the blog, Dave Winer ( @davewiner ) was right...
