Social Media Law Student: an Experiment by Rex Gradeless

By Amy Derby

Can Social Media Help a Law Student Get a Job?

That’s one of the questions law student Rex Gradeless is asking on his new blog Social Media Law Student.  Rex Gradeless is a third-year law student at Saint Louis University School of Law, specializing in Civil Litigation. He’s been actively networking on sites like Twitter to find a job in a big city. (I’m secretly hoping he’ll come to Chicago, because I’d like to meet him!)

Rex Gradeless, Social Media Law Student, Says:

“The law student experiment is off to a lightning speed start. The response has been overwhelming. I have met many generous people in a very short time - the power of social media!!”

About the Social Media Law Student Experiment:

Rex says, “We know that ?Real Lawyers Have Blogs? but do real lawyers read blogs? Can Twitter shape the way lawyers communicate with each other? This experiment could change the way career service offices operate and the way attorneys communicate. Let the experiment begin!”

Looks like the experiment is already well underway! I’m wishing Rex all the best and biggest opportunities. If you don’t already know him, take care of that now. Drop by his blog, Social Media Law Student and follow Rex Gradeless on twitter.
