A story about the Master and the DG of the Justice Ministry to read at:http://www.moneyweb.co.za/education/investment_insights/890052.htm

I just went through some of the stats for the site for January - a very impressive 3500 unique visitors, some 800 or so readings of the blogs.  Blogs have not taken off, across the world, as much in visits as in publicity, but they do provide a means to always have fresh content without sourcing articles.  One can in a 100 words give the latest info faster and quicker than if you ask someone to "prepare an article" - words which seem to terrify most attorneys.  Going on the updating of blogs and previous figures that would indicate about 15 readers a day for my blog - or about 90 readings per update given it is about once every 6 days on average.  Thats not huge, but as attorneys go, its not too small either!  The problem is those attorneys out there who simply do not read - almost ever.  Not De Rebus, not Without Prejudice, nor the Law Society updates and just merrily go on their way.  A few weeks ago a prominent Johannesburg attorney, who does RAF claims for Plaintiff's, but also recovers money for medical aids realized, for the first time, that there were proposed changes to the RAF act.  It is these types of attorneys who never contribute to the cause and afterwards ask why not enough was done!
