Read on Twitter
So, many years ago I started compiling a list of attorneys on Twitter
The last time I tweeted it out was October 2019, and – as long as it was – it was missing quite a few folks (including my own lawyer @wolmanj)
And I've been updating it since

And I've been updating it since
Someone suggested I instead create a public Twitter List instead, which would simplify following lawyers without having to visit every account of several hundred
A valid point!
Except...
A valid point!
Except...
Having stored the list for years in a textfile, there is no quick way for me to add folks to a Twitter List...
...without tweeting the updated list out one last time
...without tweeting the updated list out one last time
Hence, this thread 
Let me preface the forthcoming list by saying there were / are a few criteria for inclusion at the time they were added:
Lawyers
Twitter account is public
Reasonably active (though not necessarily about law)
*Generally* not an asshole

(That 4th point is important, because some folks have lost their f*cking minds these last 4 years on a variety of subjects – but nonetheless still typically have not-insane takes on legal topics. So I included them even if I don't like them. Including some who blocked me 
)
)
We also haven't separated out the American attorneys from the attorneys in other countries. You'll find a number of UK / Canada / Australia / etc attorneys in the list Folks who changed their @'s since the last time were removed because I couldn't find what they are now
And with that, I take a deep breath and tweak the copy/paste...

(Yes I know I broke the alpha order with Alyssa at the end, I forgot she's not a student anymore After formatting 15 tweets deep I wasn't going back to the beginning )

This will, hopefully, mark the retirement of my textfile
I'm going to work on adding these folks to a Twitter List sometime later and will just update from there

If you were omitted, please don't take it personally – after awhile it just gets really f*ckin' hard to keep an accurate list
Feel free to reply to this tweet if I missed you but you want to be added to the Twitter List whenever it's created

Back when I first went viral, in the halcyon days of February 2016, a bunch of folks asked me what other lawyers I recommended they follow on Twitter
And like the Threadnought, PBMT, and so much else, it soon got out of hand https://twitter.com/justpersnickety/status/1331318236973916160

This is Exhibit Pick-A-Number on why I'm retiring the list lol https://twitter.com/catdaddio_esq/status/1331325538418401280
In place of which account? I have OGLawPanda on there a few tweets up https://twitter.com/tex0110/status/1331331508888547329
See?? You're another one that I *could have sworn I added already* back in 2019 https://twitter.com/musicadamt/status/1331329775621828609

I've got 135K followers, going Private does diddly :\\
Instead I untag them from the convo in the next tweet so they *should* only get the tweet they're mentioned in https://twitter.com/seifersythe/status/1331328783861886976

The asshole clause was more 404(b)-esque: nominally a rule of exclusion, but more an explanation for why several assholes made the list
