The Young Lawyers Section launches our own Social Media Policy!
The CBA is on Instagram in addition to FB, Twitter and LinkedIn. In order to help all YL Branch sections across Canada share and keep track of posts, photos and stories, the YL Communications Committee came up with some hashtags young lawyers can use. While the Connecticut Bar Association’s young lawyers beat us to #cbayls for our general hashtag, we nabbed the same format for all Branch hashtags.
Let us know if you have suggestions for other event-specific hashtags! Also remember to keep our fellow Law Students Section members in the loop by tagging them at #cbalawstudents.
General Hashtag: #cbayounglawyers
