Most lawyers are still wrestling with trying to understand the Internet - connecting with the whole world. The advanced few are into Intranets - a closed Internet accessible only by people within the firm. Now a rare few firms are talking about setting up Extranets. Extranets are on a special server for clients and other friends of the firm to use or get access to special files, case-related matters, imaging, etc. The client is provided with a password to access an area only available to folks within the firm.
Firewalls exist so that no client can obtain access to areas personal to another client.
All three can be linked from the Directories of Lawyers index page on our Home Page.
