On Thursday, October 17, Allison Shields and I will be presenting a webinar called LinkedIn for Lawyers Reloaded, cosponsored by ALI CLE and the ABA’s Law Practice Division.

LinkedIn in One Hour for Lawyers, Second Edition

This 90 minute seminar coincides with the launch of our new book, LinkedIn in One Hour for Lawyers, Second Edition, and attendees of the live webinar will receive an electronic version of the book.

Our presentation will be based on the new version of our book and will reflect our current thinking about LinkedIn and will cover recent changes to LinkedIn’s interface and features. Allison and I spoke today in preparation for the webinar and I’m excited about our newest approach to this material.

Here’s the description for the webinar:

Like many lawyers (and 225 million other LinkedIn users), you may have a profile on LinkedIn, but do you really know what to do with it? Beyond putting up an online “resumé” and adding connections to your professional network, do you know all the ways that LinkedIn can help you in your career?

In this essential CLE program on LinkedIn for Lawyers, learn how to leverage the world’s largest professional network to boost your own practice and profile! Whether you are a new or long-term user, this CLE program will give you helpful instructions and useful strategies for taking advantage of all of LinkedIn’s features, including navigating LinkedIn’s new interface, maximizing your profile, and connecting with referral sources, former classmates, former practice colleagues, peers, experts, and others, in effective, mutually beneficial ways.

Bonus! All registrants will receive a FREE copy of LinkedIn in One Hour for Lawyers (a $49.95 value) In addition, all registrants receive a set of downloadable course materials and free access to the archived online program later. Registrants will be able to view the archived online program on a mobile device.
