This study looks closely at who, which, and how often law school faculty use Twitter, what they use it for, and what they think of it as a tool for law school faculty.  The report enables law school faculty and administrators to pinpoint the benefits and pitfalls of Twitter use.

Just a few of this 28-page report’s many findings are:

  • 48% of law faculty in the sample had their own Twitter account.
  • Mean and median use of Twitter was much higher for female than male faculty.
  • Faculty from public college law schools were significantly more likely than those from private college law schools to highly value Twitter as a career tool.

Data in the report was derived from a survey drawing 104 responses from 56 law schools in the USA; it was conducted from April 10 to June 7, 2023.  Data is broken out by variables related to the institutional affiliation of the survey participants (enrollment size, public/private status/ranking) law schools, as well as personal characteristics such as age and gender.
