The unconventional lawyers are the new kings of the profession. The practice of law is catching up with the world as the world has completely changed. Was it not Lord Denning who said, “God forbid that the world changes but the law remains static?”

Legal practice cannot remain as it was in the era when apples and black berries were mere fruits, the clouds remained in the sky or to be gay meant to be happy.

Legal practice has entered the information age and that is why blogging matters. The ICT boom has made the world smaller, a village albeit a global one without entry and exit barriers.

An online presence is needed by all lawyers to tap into the benefits of the world’s information super high way. A social media presence is not enough. Did you just say you have an email? Emails are not enough. You need to show the world the power of your ideas, the wonders of your thoughts and the strength of your abilities.

You need a blog. Yea a website hosted blog. Get a domain and pay for web hosting, it will do you a lot of good. Your blog is your office online. It’s the repository of all there should be about you.

Those ideas dancing skelewu in your head will serve you better if you do a nice draft on it and put on your blog. The experience you share with friends and colleagues on legal issues could land you more clients if you do a nice draft and it’s exposed to more people on your blog.
