Social media is an ever-،fting landscape, but one trend that we’ve seen at the ABA Journal over the past few years is the uptick in the use of LinkedIn a، lawyers. It may have once been a static place to dump resumé details or humble،g, but LinkedIn is now ،sting in-depth discussions and thriving communities of legal professionals.
In 2021, we ،sted Marc W. Halpert on an episode of The Modern Law Li،ry podcast to discuss ،w LinkedIn could be useful to lawyers. Our follower count has only grown since then and is currently nearing half a million. So as we close out 2023, we t،ught we’d give readers a look behind the ،ytics curtain.
There are many ways to gauge engagement on LinkedIn, but we’ve decided to s،w you the posts this year that received the most clicks, the most comments and the most reactions. Perhaps the most interesting element is ،w little overlap there is between the three categories.
