Musings on law, tech, chess & other topics by a geek

It is nice to see the school reaching out to online communities, the next step is to populate the page with student generated content to move into Web 2.0. Here is the full press release:

To be effective as lawyers in the service of justice requires that we understand both legal theory and how our actions will be received in the real world. To be effective as a law school also requires that same real-world context. As the world changes around us, we must change with it — or risk becoming irrelevant.

So today we’re launching a Facebook page as a way to keep in touch with students, alumni and colleagues. You’ll be able to find out at a glance about many of the things that are happening around the law school, see photos or video of law school events and connect directly with other friends of the law school.

Please become a fan of our page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Seattle-WA/Seattle-University-School-of-Law/51348305898
