I know that a number of attorneys browse the website www.saflii.org. It is the website of the Southern African Legal Information Institute and it publishes, free of charge, case law and legislation from South Africa. It also contains judgments from some of the surrounding countries. It says that it does so with the aim of promoting the rule of law and judicial accountability by publishing legal material for open access. I think that is a wonderful goal, and certainly it does tend to have the latest judgments, whether they are important or not, up on the website fairly quickly. It is apparently a project of the South African Constitutional Court Trust and as it says itself, and this is no doubt true, it is currently the largest free access collection of online legal material from South Africa – so it is very valuable, not only to law students and attorneys, but members of the public who can research any judgments and also have access to the latest judgments.

Saflii is a wonderful website. I have had trouble finding some cases in the past though.

This website will without a doubt be a huge success, anything that is informative and people can gain knowledge from, is usually a success.
