blogger fined - 7 July
It is the first case of its kind : a lawyer has been fined $1 000 by
the Law Society for giving his views of an ongoing case in his blog.
Mr Alfred Dodwell was taken to task by the society for 'publicly
promoting his view of the witnesses and the merits of an ongoing
court proceeding, albeit through the medium of blogs'. As a result
of the case, the Law Society has cautioned lawyers about comments
they make in blogs and to the media. - The
