What are tools used for lawyers?

Answer 1

Brain, a computer with a good word processing program and access to a legal case law data base is extremely helpful, as is a phone. Traditionally telephone fax machines were used by lawyers but they are switching to online faxing gradually. One of the main reasons that keep lawyers away from using fax software is the common delusion that paper "hard copy" is probably more legitimate. In reality however online fax is a much better way of operating in the business.

Imagine a scenario where someone steals somebody else's signature and glue it to a document and them masks a forgery by faxing it. It is one of the easiest ways of cheating because of the low quality of fax output. Using online fax software, you not only secure your reputation but also maintain the confidentiality of your client.

Some common tools used by lawyers include legal research databases (such as Westlaw or LexisNexis), document management software, e-discovery tools, case management systems, and communication tools like secure email and messaging platforms to communicate with clients and colleagues.
