Individual lawyers and law firms continue to engage in social media activities as a key part of their overall marketing program. That small percentage of lawyers, who choose not to partake in these online relationship building tools, are falling further and further behind in their market positions.  Times have certainly changed and methods for outreach to establish and grow networks of contacts has evolved.  Take advice from Socrates, The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old but on building the new.
