I spoke the other day about Twitter and other social media tools at the National Association of Bar Executives Communication Section's meeting in Las Vegas. I made everyone put down the phones and pay attention. That led to a small revolt, but I made my point: Social Media fills a human need to communicate. Either that or it allows those with ADHD to maintain a sense of control.
From Kevin Hunt's Blog Post at Legal Current:
A juror sends out a tweet on Twitter after a verdict is reached in a multi-million dollar case.
Another asks Facebook friends for help making a decision on the verdict.
A courtroom employee uses a cell phone camera to take a picture of the defendant, in the courtroom.
Think it couldn’t happen? It has.
Michael Sommermeyer, court information officer with the Clark County (Las Vegas, Nev.) Courts talked about the challenges that Twitter – and social media in general – are providing for courts and judges, at the National Association of Bar Executives (NABE) Communications Section’s annual workshop in Las Vegas. His session was titled “Your Court’s All-A-Twitter.”
I especially like the video. I manage to ramble on like a Led Zepplin song and only stop to gulp down some air. Thankfully, Kevin Hunt ends the madness before we all suffocate.
