Guidelines for Social Media

The Section has a robust and active social media presence on X, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook. Committees are encouraged to use the Section’s social media presence as an additional means by which to communicate with active and prospective committee members as well as more broadly to the entire Section. The Section’s social media sites are also used to promote Section content, such as articles, Sound Advice, upcoming CLE meetings and Roundtables, membership information, and more. The Social Media Committee encourages committee editors to get involved in Section social media in many ways.

PARTICIPATE, PROMOTE, SUBMIT
Join the discussion on the Litigation Section social media pages on X, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn by following, liking, and sharing our posts.

• Like and comment on posts to get involved in the discussion.
• Promote Section content on social media by sharing Section posts.
• Use meeting hashtags at upcoming meetings, Roundtables, CLE seminars, Section Annual Conference, and the ABA Annual Meeting.
• Tag the Section in your posts on your personal LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, or X accounts.
• If you would like to promote a new article, send posts for Facebook, X, Instagram, and LinkedIn to your committee’s staff editor.

For all other types of submissions for inclusion on the Section’s pages, contact Natalie Del Ricco at [email protected].

Committee contributions for the Section’s social media sites are strongly encouraged, but as with all committee publications, they must be professionally done and noncontroversial so that the Section’s overall goals and image are not compromised. If your committee article’s author is on social media, be sure to provide the author’s handle(s) to your staff editor to include in posts promoting the article.

REVIEW THE SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY
Committees may not create independent sites. This ensures that a regularly updated social media presence is consistent with ABA policy and the Section’s goals and guidelines. The updated social media policy can be reviewed on the Leadership Portal.

FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Representatives of the Social Media Committee are available to assist committees with their use of the Section’s social media presence. If you have any questions about Litigation Section social media, please contact the Social Media co-chairs. Visit the Leadership Portal for contact information.
