 We thought it would be a good idea to have a summary of the most popular articles from 2010, some we may have forgotten or missed the article entirely.
Although surveys are extremely difficult for us to motivate readers to partake, the results always seem to generate a high interest when they are released - so in the future please encourage as many people as you can to take part in the surveys - the results are always very interesting and the more input we get the more accurate the results.
Step by step assistance articles around word processing are also popular - especially the Word tips.
Here are the articles in order of popularity:

The South African Law Firms Hourly Rate Survey Results
How wrong we were with the hourly rate, we had to change the upper limits 3 times to accommodate the higher hourly rate and we ended up still being short in the end. The upper limit was R2500 per hour and we still had resondents saying they charged more per hour. A great response to the results - encourage more people to take part in the next one.
Netbook for office, mobile and home
A look at the Gigabyte netbook at a very reasonable price at the time. It is even cheaper now! Nice docking station for office use.
Those are the popular articles from 2010, we hope this year will bring multiples of the same and that with your feedback we can narrow down the categories and deliver the real "crunchy" stuff that makes a difference to all South African legal firms.
Thank you all for your support and contributions through 2010 - may 2011 be tenfold! |
