Mean and median use of Twitter was much higher for female than male faculty.? Faculty from public college law schools were significantly more likely than those from private college law schools to highly value Twitter as a career tool.Data in the report was derived from a survey drawing 104 responses from 56 law schools in the USA; it was conducted from April 10 to June 7, 2023. Data is broken out by variables related to the institutional affiliation of the survey participants (enrollment size, public/private status/ranking) law schools, as well as personal characteristics such as age and gender.
