Why Law-types Need Gmail
December 11, 2004
First, you can save every email sent and received, thus covering your ass. (This rationale does not apply to the dishonest, who probably don't want to bear burden of establishing a paper trail).
Second, you can search your email quickly for the CYA email.
Third (and best of all) you can email yourself the full-text of articles and frequently-used decisions, thus creating a legal database that you can search for free.
