Communication power tool; the Internet can improve lawyers' efficiency, but it's not alway the answer
Article Abstract:
The Internet may be counterproductive although it can improve lawyers' efficiency. E-mail is not appropriate for solving contentious arguments - these have to be talked out. The ability to do something technologically does not mean it is the productive thing to do. The advent of the Internet means that old-fashioned skills are no longer being learned in old-fashioned ways. Lawyers are professional communicators and only lawyers at the peak of their careers have developed the old-fashioned and traditional forms of legal communication.
