AsktheLawyerOnline Offers Legal Professionals Free One Week Subscription

By on October 7, 2012

 “The online resource, as part of a special inaugural package is offering the first 250 legal professionals who subscribe to its library services 7 days free access.”

 

Barrister Aronke Omame has been a legal practitioner for over two decades, and in that time she has grown her legal practice successfully despite ever rising costs. In her many years of  court-appearances and other activities that constitute life as a legal practitioner, she discovered that many  lawyers have difficulty in accessing the tools of the legal profession.

Lawyers thrive on access to information, but that information is pricey and often times a practitioner may have to spend a small fortune acquiring the journals, laws, reviews, and judgments that make up a legal library.

In a country where the income distribution gap is so skewed, many Law professionals are unable to acquire volumes at this amount and become priced out of the market as this information shortfall impacts adversely on the quality of their service.

Last Monday, as the Nation marked its 52nd Independence Anniversary, Askthelawyeronline.com went live. The website was launched without fanfare or much furor, however in less than a week it already boasts almost a thousand visitors.

The users are there for a reason, the site has several features which appeal to legal professionals and members of the general public.

For the learned colleagues, there is access to a vast amount of information in the library which includes previous judgments, legal precedents, journals and federal laws. The online legal resource is also developing partnerships with several forward looking states to digitalize their laws on the site. Lawyers are now able to even carry their libraries with them throughout the world.

The most attractive feature to visitors and lawyers alike is the discussions forum where registered users are able to pose legal questions which can be discussed by others. It amounts to receiving initial legal advice for free. An added bonus for lawyers is that they get an opportunity to establish new relationships, based on the quality of their contributions.

In the short time the site has been up, Nigerians from all walks of lives have been able to seek legal advice on property disputes, issues with their landlords and workplace concerns.

The online resource, as part of a special inaugural package is offering the first 250 legal professionals who subscribe to its library services 7 days free access.

Registration is free and grants lawyers and other visitors alike access to view and contribute on the discussion forum free of charge.
