Pace Law Library in White Plains, New York has one of the most extensive environmental law collections in the U.S.  They provide materials, instruction and research assistance to the Pace Law School community.

But as part of their outreach activities they also operate a blog, where they picked up on a recent post:

Law is Cool has a post Law Students Can Network With Lawyers, discussing Facebook, Jurafide, LawLink, and one of the latest Lawyrs, which is a platform intended to be specifically for lawyers and law students.

The ability to dialogue and network with legal professionals from 128 countries (although mostly American and British) is fascinating. They obviously have groups like other social networks, often comprised of alumni or interests, and a legal news page. There’s also a page for law firms. Lawyrs has a publications page.

Read the full review of this new platform called Lawyrs, including pros and cons, right here. Do you have any preferred social/professional networking tools that you’d like to recommend? Do you have any experience with any of the tools mentioned above? Feel free to share.

Pace Law Library picks up on a post,

Law is Cool is out with yet another list of 10 tips. Omar Ha-Redeye shares his perspective on learning in law school and points to a post on public defender blog titled: 10 things I didn’t learn in law school. Omar shares his professor’s advice to learn “through osmosis” and shares the ten things law school didn’t teach him.

The mention was greatly appreciated, but the osmosis tip actually came from Gideon at a public defender, not a professor.
