The KL Bar Young Lawyers Committee and the KL Bar Professional Development Commitee have jointly organised The Young Lawyers Speed Track Legal Practise Management Course 2009 on 22 May 2009.

The course is aimed to equip young lawyers with the essential practise management skill and knowledge in various fields of practice.

We has set up our booth during the 1 day conference and our founder, Mr Eddie Law was also one of the speakers for conference, who spoke on “Using Technology in Malaysian Legal Practice”.

Eddie told the participants that Malaysian law firms ”under-use” technology in managing their practice. Apart from using technology to manage daily legal practice, in fact, law firms in Malaysia can take the advantage of internet, to seek for free legal resources available online and, to build branding of the law firm online and being easily found in the search engine. How overseas law firms are using social networking sites to create strong online presence.

When talking about Facebook, he told that lawyers in Australia and New Zealand had successfully persuaded the court to allow them to use Facebook to serve legal documents to the parties involve, e.g. Summon and notification.
