Has Texting Triumphed?

Attorney at Work

As part of the duty to provide competent representation, lawyers are required to stay abreast of current legal technology. It should go without saying that lawyers must be able to use legacy technologies as well. For some younger members of the bar, the preferred medium is texting, so much so that they are unable to use platforms that predate the mobile phone.

Attorney at Work

Remember when working remotely was taboo?
