NCSC: Social Media and the Courts

Includes both useful resources and a request for information from the courts.

Nora Sydow reports that the National Center for State Courts (NCSC) has recently developed a Social Media and the Courts web module. Included in this module is a state links page that links to courts that are using Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc. In an effort to make this page as complete as possible, we are asking for your help.

(1) If your court is using a social media site, could you please send me the link(s) so we can include them in our state links page?

(2) If your court has established a social media policy, either for employee use of social media sites and/or a policy that governs the court’s own social media sites, could you please send me a copy of your policy?

Please send any information you can provide to:
