TV show based on remarkable career of SCOTUS expert Tom Goldstein?
Any time I talk to a lawyer who questions the value (or the propriety) of social media marketing, I bring up the story of Tom Goldstein -- who went from solo to head of the Supreme Court practice at Akin Gump using social media like his SCOTUS Blog and SCOTUS Wiki to make a name for himself in this very exclusive area of the law. He has also made a number of non-self-important videos that he has posted on YouTube.
In today's Wall Street Journal Law blog, Ashby Jones reports on a Variety story that NBC is developing a TV show based on Goldstein's remarkable success story. The working title is Tommy Supreme -- "depicting a likeable guy in an unlikeable profession."
Now I have even more ammunition to use when attempting to persuade lawyers and law firms who think that social media are too undignified for the law or their particular practice! What is more dignified than a Supreme Court practice?
