Why Paper Still Matters: A Contrarian View of the Paperless Office

By Sara Skiff | Friday, January 20, 2006

Coming January 24, 2006 to TechnoFeature: Many pundits contend that law firms will replace their paper documents sooner rather than later with databases, disks, and hard drives. In this article, legal coach and consultant Edward Poll discusses how such predictions ignore the fundamental advantages of paper as a creative tool, as a source of emotional satisfaction, and as a low-cost, permanent, and environmentally sensitive method of information management. Add generational preferences and legal tradition, and Ed believes paper will be with us for many years more. Read the article (on your screen or on paper) to see if Ed makes a convincing case.
