#TwitterTuesday–Old Dominion Edition

By Tessa L. Dysart

TwitterTuesdays

For #TwitterTuesday this week we are focusing on the great Commonwealth of Virginia.  Virginia is, of course, home to one the greatest appellate minds of all time–Chief Justice John Marshall, as well as Marshall’s political opponent Thomas Jefferson.  While Virginia was a major player in the history of our nation, and in the development of legal history, it is underrepresented in the Twitterverse when it comes to the topic of appellate advocacy.  Nonetheless, we found some great Twitter accounts to follow for those interested in Virginia law in general and appellate advocacy in particular:

Virginia Supreme (@VASupremeCt) provides easy access to Virginia Supreme Court opinion summaries from Justia (daily.justia.com).

The Virginia State Bar (@VAStateBar) is an agency of the Supreme Court of Virginia. The Bar Association tweets about tips, latest news and events, and even some history of profession in Virginia, including appellate advocacy.

Norman Thomas (@NormanThomasLaw) is an appellate lawyer in Richmond, Virginia. With more than thirty years of experience, Thomas shares his knowledge of Virginia law through his tweets and articles he writes regarding appellate news.

VA Bar Association (@VABarAssn) provides an “independent voice” for Virginia lawyers by “advancing the highest ideals of the profession through advocacy [and] volunteer service.” Their tweets serve as great reminders for new learning and networking opportunities provided by the Bar Association.

Jay O’Keeffe (@jayokeeffe) is an appellate and business litigation lawyer in Roanoke, Virginia and publishes articles for “DeNovo: A Virginia Appellate Law Blog.” O’Keeffe, named one of Virginia’s “Rising Stars” from 2008-13, keeps the twitter-world informed about the latest posts on the blog as well as current news in politics and cycling.

Jim Guy (@VirginiaBarPrez) is the 128th President of the Virginia Bar Association. Follow Guy for interesting news concerning Virginia law, interesting cases, and a more personal perspective of the events sponsored by the Virginia Bar Association.
