Twenty years ago, lawyers were debating whether to use email in their practices. It’s now impossible to imagine lawyers practicing without email. Today, people send more than a trillion text messages each year. Will we see texts and instant messages (IMs) becoming as integral to law practice as email? In this episode, we discuss the growing use of texts and IMs by everyone, how these technologies are starting to play a role in the everyday practice of law, and how lawyers should prepare for the use of these technologies in the future.
