Survey of Law School Faculty 2023, Use of Twitter

This study looks closely at who, which, and how often law school faculty use Twitter, what they use it for, and what they think of it as a tool for law school faculty. The report enables law school faculty and administrators to pinpoint the benefits and pitfalls of Twitter use.

Just a few of this 28-page report’s many findings are:

48% of law faculty in the sample had their own Twitter account.
Mean and median use of Twitter was much higher for female than male faculty.
Faculty from public college law schools were significantly more likely than those from private college law schools to highly value Twitter as a career tool.

Data in the report was derived from a survey drawing 104 responses from 56 law schools in the USA; it was conducted from April 10 to June 7, 2023. Data is broken out by variables related to the institutional affiliation of the survey participants (enrollment size, public/private status/ranking) law schools, as well as personal characteristics such as age and gender.
