I’m delighted that I’ve at last spent 30 seconds stealing being inspired by Nick Holmes‘ use of a Yahoo Pipe to provide a good rss feed from bailii. The fruits of my labours are available on the side bar, or here as a feed you can use yourself.

The Law21 blog entry on marketing has again inspired me to rant on the future of the legal profession. ‘Your solicitor, qualified to answer’ is a major national advertising and PR campaign to promote solicitors to the public.
