Use electronic communications.

Use should include transmittal and receipt procedures for

  • corresponding by email, including using encryption, online etiquette, and adding attachments as required
  • preparing fax cover sheets
  • using appropriate office devices for email and fax
  • identifying specific legal documents that must be transmitted as original documents and those that may be transmitted as copies
  • ensuring documents are transmitted to and received by the intended recipient to prevent unintentional breaches of confidentiality (i.e., using reply rather than reply all when responding).
