Abstract
Internet has changed and will continue to change many aspects of the practice of law. Besides affording unlimited opportunity for gathering information on a world-wide scale and communicating quickly across time and geographical boundaries, the Internet provides access to multifaceted tools for performing legal and related research. A law firm should equip its lawyers and staff with suitable computer hardware and software to effectively avail itself of the myriad of online resources. By keeping in step with technological developments, efficiencies may be realized in the practice of law that were heretofore inconceivable. This article includes (1) a review of Outlook Express (e-mail software), (2) an example of online legal research using VersusLaw, (3) an update of HotDocs and ProDoc (document assembly software), and (4) a discussion on the importance of providing adequate monitors to law firm personnel.
