I am so very pleased to announce that I have joined the faculty at Solo Practice University™ (SPU). SPU is a web-based legal educational and networking community for lawyers and law students created by Susan Cartier LIebel, publisher of one of the best legal blogs on the web, Build a Solo Practice, LLC.
SPU is an online source for law students and legal professionals who want one place to go for information and resources on the practical aspects of running their own law practice. This is exactly what law schools should be doing and aren’t.
When I was asked to join the faculty at SPU, I considered it for a total of 2 seconds before I said, “yes”. I told Susan, “this is something which has been missing from the legal profession from the beginning of time.” Where else can you go for a complete source of information and resources then the web. And Susan saw this. She has taken the charge by bringing to those who are starving for such information and resources in one location by founding SPU.
I will be teaching, talking and interacting with the students of SPU about blogging. Specifically, how to effectively use blogging to market and promote their law practices. With the mini-communities SPU will be providing, this is a unique opportunity for students and other legal professionals to enter into a conversation and learn from each other about how to use a blog in their own marketing programs.
My goal as a faculty member of SPU is to encourage those who enroll in the university to engage in that conversation about blogging. By taking advantage of the interaction which I hope takes place between the faculty and the students, each will walk away from this experience with tools and ideas and those all important connections they will need to have a successful marketing program for their own law practices.
I also want those who are enrolled in SPU to always feel like they can contact me anytime to ask questions or discuss their concerns about blogging. It will be these conversation which will make this a great experience for all. I look forwarded to meeting all of those who are enrolled in or will soon be enrolled in SPU. Let the interaction and learning begin!
Congratulations Grant. Frankly I saw this coming a mile away. It's a great match for Susan and for all of her students. Good luck with it!
Congratulations, Grant! I'm pleased to see such great things happening for you and this is a perfect position for you. SPU students will be very lucky to have you!
