Linkedin topped 100M users last year, and 770K were from the legal community. Many people are skeptical about the value of such a business/social networking site. However, many attorneys have expanded their legal network and obtained new clients from linkedin. Additionally, many young attorneys are completing lateral transfers and even finding new jobs from the new career finder on linkedin. Using technology is a great way to keep up with a growing legal market.
