Think Before Sending That E-Mail
No lawyer ' even the most ethical ' would want a prosecutor to see or hear his client communications. Indeed, the most sacred ethic is that of confidentiality.

They somehow feel that their bilateral client contacts, even when made through e-mail, surely will not be disseminated.
After all, they say, the devastating e-mails used by some businessmen, the kind of rapid-fire thoughts communicated electronically without the self-editing process used when committing something to writing by letter or fax, are not privileged in the first place. Say these lawyers: 'It can't happen to me, especially in a lawyer-client conversation. And I don't write that stupid stuff, anyway.'
