Comments on: Slaw Gets a Mention in Lexpert http://www.slaw.ca/2009/11/18/slaw-gets-a-mention-in-lexpert/ Canada's online legal magazine Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:41:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: John G http://www.slaw.ca/2009/11/18/slaw-gets-a-mention-in-lexpert/comment-page-1/#comment-708510 John G Fri, 20 Nov 2009 02:51:22 +0000 http://www.slaw.ca/?p=14269#comment-708510 I agree that it's a good article and Simon has some perceptive things to say, not surprisingly. What did surprise me was his statement that lawyers took 20 years to take to email. Was email available to anyone outside academia and the military before about 1993? I don't think lawyers' opportunity could be said to have started before then. So it has not taken them 20 years to become enthusiastic, even if levels of enthusiasm vary, from the not-yet-persuaded to the jaded to the long-since-moved-on.
