Have you seen all the tweets about people’s favorite U.S. Supreme Court cases this week? They’re all promoting a continuing legal education program.
Each tweet included #cbftech, the hashtag for Connecticut Bar Foundation’s Technology Symposium, a free program hosted by UConn Law School. And the “tweet your favorite U.S. Supreme Court case” initiative is intended to raise awareness about the conference, which is also available via webcast.
According to program chair Daniel Schwartz:
We’ve spread the word through conventional means (ads, e-mails, mailings) but there are still many others who we think will benefit from this (particularly for those out-of-state who would like to see the webinar). Thus, we’re going to try to use the power of social media to do so. We need your help.
They’re even doing an as-yet-unannounced prize for the best tweet. I wouldn’t want to be a judge–there have been too many good candidates. Like this one. Or this one, for the Seinfeld fans out there.
Fun idea from Daniel Schwartz and the other symposium organizers.
