Avoiding Email Hazards

In my never-ending effort to encourage people to safely utilize technology, I thought I should use this column to discuss email with you. In doing so, I do not want to discourage you from using it; rather, I want to encourage you to do so safely. Email has made it easier and quicker for us to communicate with friends, clients, and other attorneys. With a bit of caution, we can continue to use email productively and beneficially. If we do not exercise that caution, however, email, like other technologies, has the potential to bite us in the posterior.
