Electronic Filing: Technology, Rules, and Privacy
Shari Claire Lewis via reports: The ability to file documents electronically is a boon to lawyers, and a means of cutting costs for clients. And it seems clear that the Internet will be used in the future in a number of different ways in litigation matters. But every technological advance engenders its own new challenges. Of utmost importance, attorneys must take reasonable steps to protect personally identifiable and sensitive information so that privacy may be maintained and identification theft prevented. Attorneys should also take extra care to consult local rules of practice, including periodic updates, so they can comply with the ever-changing electronic requirements of legal practice in the 21st century.
