I want to congratulate you on putting together such an informative and useful website. In my practice we utilise web resources as an integral part of delivery of legal services to our clients that range in size from SME’s that turn over $50M per annum down to mums and dads that are purchasing a home for their family.
There is a lot of information on the page but that’s part of the fun of the site…. exploring the information that is available on it.
I have distributed a firm wide email, particularly directed at my employed solicitors, asking all of my staff to bookmark www.foolkit.com.au in their web browser and to use it as a first point of reference. What is even better about the Foolkit is that the page displays excellently on my iPad which is an invaluable tool that I use whether in Court, in the office or with a client, presenting to them to attract new work or at the business premises of an existing client.
Congratulations once again. - B. N. Lawyer
Thank you for sending me a letter about this wonderful site. It's now entrenched in my favourites at home and work. Keep up the good work and thanks again for making this public. - Judge
Your website, Foolkit was brought to my attention by one of our lawyers and I would like to request the permission of making the link to your website accessible through our internal legal portal (restricted access). This would make your website accessible to all our Australian lawyers as well as our global lawyers. - One of Australia’s largest companies.
A very helpful resource. - H.B. Lawyer
What a great site. This will be very helpful. Thanks. - G.V. Lawyer
I immediately made it my homepage. It will save me from having to click through numerous links each day. I've forwarded it to the other lawyers in my firm. Much appreciated. - V.M. Lawyer
It looks terrific and the links are lightning fast. - J.G. Lawyer
I think your site is a terrific tool for busy lawyers. - H.H. Risk Manager
This is an amazing site for a solicitor. Your site is very good and I can see that the more I use it the better it will get. - J.C. Lawyer
It is an excellent work. Very helpful. - C.S. Lawyer
Your website seems to be absolutely brilliant. Thank you very much!! - D.Z. Lawyer
I love this site guys, I have made it my homepage. .... I really like the ease and pace at which you can find things which are relevant. The take up on this site should be phenomenal. D.C. Lawyer
An applicant without a foolkit is a fool for an applicant.... - D.P. IT Consultant
Thanks so much for creating foolkit. I'm a third year law student at Adelaide Uni and this site is absolutely fantastic!! A wealth of info on here. Cheers, keep up the good work. - A.T. Law Student
What can I say.... excellent! - C.O. Barrister
I think it’s the best site I have ever seen. Everything is in one place in a thoughtful lay out. - R.M. Lawyer
This is brilliant and contains all the resources I would use on a daily basis. - L.O. Barristers’ Clerk
I originally wrote Foolkit for use in my own law firm.
My aim was to put all the practical resources of the internet in the one place, so that they would be at everyone's fingertips. I wanted to make it easier for everyone to find things without wasting time hunting around each time.
Foolkit was a great success in my office, so I started to share Foolkit with other lawyers. One of the earlier versions was briefly on the openinternet and I was surprised that so many of the public were looking for this information. I didn't think that the Lawyer content was very useful to them and I think that "a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing" as far as the law is concerned. Once I had addressed this by writing the Public pages, I made Foolkit available to everyone.
Foolkit does not replace the paid subscription services and the commentary they provide. I have deliberately chosen information that is practical and will be used often. There were often mutliple sources that I could have included, but I have only chosen one or two. Which isn't to say that any that are left out are "not up to standard".
Foolkit now has over 13,000 URL's and is growing. What the user sees is "the tip of the iceberg" compared to the computing behind it. So, how does Foolkit survive? Foolkit is not a charity. Foolkit does not receive any support from any Law Foundation, Government or Law Society. People ask why I don't make people pay to use Foolkit. If it was a subscription service then this would exclude many of the users. Foolkit is looking for advertisers / sponsors who wish to promote themselves before lawyers and everyone else involved in the law or before the public who are looking for legal answers.
As at 19th May, 2013 it has over 500 pages, 6,436 Links, 1,685 items of Legislation and and 22,721 URL's.
Foolkit is the largest free legal information website in Australia based on the number and variety of resources. AustLII and ComLaw are larger in size but have a narrower range of resources
