Legal professionals feel like they are drowning in the medium – that it has prevented them from getting things done. They seem caught in a nonstop wheel of information overwhelm. They’re not sure of proper email etiquette or formatting. Nor are they sure how clear and effective email style differs from other forms of correspondence. Email is a stone-cold medium and it is imperative to set the proper tone to avoid being misunderstood.
