The presence of careers and education social media accounts is growing and offering law students the opportunity to engage more in their passions and niches. Here are some suggestions for social media accounts you can follow to support your career or education journey.

Before following any social media account, it is important to remember to assess the credibility of the content you are consuming. Naturally, there is a marketing element of social media, so it is important that you are not following advice or instructions without first doing your own research.

With that being said, social media is a great place to connect with like-minded people and be inspired by others, especially in the increasingly digital world of law. Here are some social media accounts that can help you do that:
