An article by James Podgers, appearing on the ABA Journal at the abajournal.com website.
This article discusses two recent formal ABA ethics opinions that pertain to email use by attorneys.
The article provides comments and insight in regard to, "Formal Opinions 11-459 (Duty to Protect the Confidentiality of Email Communications with One’s Client) (PDF) and 11-460 (Duty When Lawyer Receives Copies of a Third Party’s Email Communications with Counsel) (PDF) were issued Aug. 4 by the ABA Standing Committee on Ethics and Professional Responsibility." Links to the referenced opinions are provided in the article.
Both opinions rely on a hypothetical fact pattern, and provide insight into the ethical obligations of counsel, when faced with specific email issues.
