#TwitterTuesday–A Great Advocate & Law Professors

Before I get to #TwitterTuesday for today, I wanted to take a moment to comment on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.  Yesterday we remembered Dr. King and his great contributions to civil rights in this country.  While Dr. King was not an attorney, he was a superb writer and gifted speaker.  Two of his more famous works demonstrate this quite well–his “I have a dream” speech and his “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” where he provided a cogent defense of  his actions supporting the civil rights movement.  All law students, and lawyers, should read Dr. King’s work!

Now on to #TwitterTuesday.  Today, I want to feature legal writing professors.  There are several out there who tweet frequently on appellate advocacy topics (some of whom blog here!).  Here are a few law professors to follow:

Joe Fore (@Joe_Fore) is currently a Legal Analysis, Researching, and Writing professor at the University of Virginia School of Law (@UVALaw). This avid Duke Blue Devils fan has also taught a class on Advanced Oral Advocacy and often tweets about interesting trends and the latest news regarding legal writing.

Jennifer North is a legal writing professor at Charleston Law (@CharlestonLaw). In addition to grading all those Legal Analysis, Research and Writing papers, Professor North writes articles relating to appellate practice for the Appellate Advocacy Blog.

Megan Boyd (@LadyLegalWriter) is a legal writing professor at Georgia State University College of Law. In addition to teaching, Boyd has a blog, the Lady Legal Writer, with an assortment of articles to help with the writing process.

Daniel Real (Daniel_L_Real) is a professor at Creighton Law (@CreightonLaw). His tweets focus primary on ways to improve written and oral advocacy. Professor Real writes The Weekly Roundup for the Appellate Advocacy Blog.

Jennifer Romig (@JenniferMRomig) is a legal writing professor at Emory Law (@EmoryLaw). In addition to teaching, Professor Romig writes a blog called Listen Like a Lawyer (@ListenLikeaLwyr) which is an excellent resource for law students and lawyers alike.
