Bumping to the front in anticipation of the 9/9/19 deadline.
If you'd like to be listed in the semi-regular census of law professor Twitter users (or confirm that you are listed already), please read on.
It’s been about one year since the last Law Prof Twitter Census here at the Lounge. My anecdotal impression is that the number of Twitter users continues to increase. (Prior surveys are here (2012), here (2012), here (2015), and here.
As with prior versions, the list is meant to cover individual law professor tweeters only (not accounts of groups, programs, blogs, law schools, print publications, students, practitioners, staff). Folks should be full-time law school faculty members (not, say, law-trained profs working in business schools). Non-U.S. law profs very, very welcome. Anonymous and pseudonymous accounts are not eligible for inclusion.
The downloadable, sortable spreadsheet can be edited directly by accessing this link. If you’d like to add your name, or if you would like to add to or modify your existing listing in census, the census calls for:
(a) Your name
(b) Your Twitter handle
(c) Your school affiliation
(d) Up to three subject-matter areas of interest that related to your teaching, scholarship or tweeting.
You can view the current list embedded below, too:
New entries and modifications due Monday, September 9, 2019 at 12:00 p.m. eastern. All additions and edits to the list subject to the moderator’s approval. Please do not edit anyone’s information other than your own. If you see errors or corrections that need to be made to a colleague’s entry, feel free to contact that colleague directly and ask the colleague to make the changes.

For the inquiring mind, here are some frequently asked questions:
1. How was the census developed?
The list is based on previous censuses, conducted in 2012, 2015 and 2018. Since 2018, I amended and updated the list if someone contacted me directly and asked to be added. Increasingly rarely, I have added additional names myself, based on law prof accounts that I have happened to encounter (typically because they follow me on Twitter or I follow them).
2. How accurate is the census?
Not at all. If there are corrections, additions, etc., please feel free to make them to the spreadsheet or email me at bcrawford at law dot pace dot edu and I'll make the change. I'll republish the census from time to time based on new data I receive.
4. Who is included in the census?
The list is meant to cover only individual tweeters who are full-time faculty members at law schools. The list is not meant to be a comprehensive account of everyone (adjuncts, librarians, practitioners, programs, institutes, students, group blogs) publishing law-related tweets. Anonymous and pseudonymous accounts are not eligible for inclusion.
5. I meet the eligibility criteria. Why is my name not on this list?
The current list is based on self-identification, self-reporting, self-corrections. Please add your name and correct info to the list.
6. I am listed, but my information is not accurate. Why has that not been corrected?
See response to #5 above.
6. What good is this information?
Not much, from what I can tell, but some people like it.
Can profs who teach law outside of law schools also add? I'd love to do so (and I work with plenty of prawfs in my research & scholarship -- I just don't teach in one!)
