Potential employers, even the stodgy recruiting folks at major law firms, need to keep the photos law students post on MySpace (or anywhere else) in context.

I'll bet that back in your law school days, you had one or two nights of debauchery with friends. It's possible that slightly incriminating photos from those nights on the town wound up on the bulletin board in your communal living space. My generation treats social networks like the bulletin boards in the communal living space.

Obviously, photos of underage drinking and illegal activity should be kept private, if they exist at all. But there is such a thing as frame shifting, and even the most professional among us do it from time to time.

Law firms hiring lawyers would be far ahead in hiring law students who blogged during law school, especially if done as means to advance their critical thinking of the law. Heck, a blog is living resume.

When hiring for LexBlog, we're looking for people who blog. How else can tell what the person is made of?

For those who do not know her, Teresa is one of the real movers behind Blog Business Summit.

And of course, it's all a matter of degrees. There's a difference between photos of a bong collection and photos of some good, clean fun on a Saturday night.
