Archive-name: law/net-resources/part3 Version: 5.1 Last-modifed: 94/09/17 Distribution-agent: ldetweil@csn.org (This document has been brought to you in part by CRAM. See the bottom for more information, including instructions on how to obtain updates.) === This chapter describes law-related resources made available by for- profit, nonprofit, and not-for-profit corporations and organizations. An organization in this chapter would most likely have a domain name ending in ".com" (commercial) or ".org" (organization). Law firms are listed separately--sorted by the state (or country) of their main office. One of the best ways to find the e-mail address for a particular individual is to call that individual. If you choose to contact the individuals listed below via e-mail, please keep your e-mail message short and to-the-point. 1.0. Corporations and Organizations. 1.1.00. Law Firms - Introduction. It is important to understand that communication with a lawyer or law firm by e-mail, including use of information resources provided by a law firm via a WWW server or other Internet resource, DOES NOT without an explicit mutual agreement create an attorney-client relationship. A lawyer-client relationship can be created by e-mail only by a direct and explicit agreement, confirmed by the lawyer or law firm and the client. No implicit agreement can be asserted. Accordingly, great care should be taken not to communicate information deemed confidential absent such explicit confirmation. Contact your local bar association if you are in doubt about the law in your jurisdiction. The law firms listed here are under no obligation to keep any information you send them confidential until AFTER they agree to form a lawyer-client relationship with you. You should use e-mail or any information services lawyers or firms provide via the Internet only as a means of learning more about a lawyer or firm. If a lawyer or firm does agree to represent you, you should then discuss how best to exchange confidential information. The firms listed below are among the few with connections to the Internet. Nearly all of them subscribe to "The Legal List." All of the firms below are accessible via e-mail, some have gone the extra step of establishing their own domain name, and some have gone even further, providing FTP, WWW, or other access means. Note that the information below, except where it was already available on the Internet, was provided by the individual law firms. 1.1.01. AL - Edward Still, Esq.
