News, views and insight for the professional and corporate community


A free legal web

August 29, 2008

It’ll be no surprise to readers of Swordplay that Blade and his colleagues are converts to the Web 2.0 world. We see the inherent transparency and democratic, collaborative nature of Web 2.0 as an opportunity for the professions rather than something to ignore or, worse, hide from. So we’re pleased to direct you to like-minded folk at The Free Legal Web.

As they say over there, don’t dream it… be it. Click here to read the Manifesto – and don’t be shy of taking the plunge. Embracing Web 2.0 might not transport you to paradise, but it will open up a world of opportunity.
