I used to write a legal newsletter focusing on Road Accident Fund personal injury matters for the Johannesburg Attorneys Association. Many years ago, after the majority of Committee decided not to proceed with a court challenge for direct payments at that time, I decided to do the newsletter on my own.
We were ready with brilliant papers weeks ahead of any other organization and they gave in to pressure which I believed they should not, to hold their application in abeyance pending an application still to be brought. We would have won easily – so much so there was almost a bun fight to see who should bring the application. After that frustration, I decided to do my own newsletter on my own rather than under the name of any organisation again.
It has had more than 200 editions and attorneys sign up for it at www.legalnewsletter.co.za I am proud that the membership has slowly grown over the years and whereas the newsletter, when I wrote it for the Johannesburg Attorneys Association, had just over 300 members, it now has in excess of 900 subscribers.
