Not all lawyers embrace such programs, however. Some are proud of their disdain for computers. Lawyers who will not turn on their computers are obviously the toughest audience for a program about the Internet, but all lawyers need to be motivated to learn about the Internet, not just instructed in the proper protocol for making Internet connections. Lawyers must see the relevance of the Internet to their practice and understand the kinds of legal issues that the Internet can raise for their clients before they will commit the time necessary to do some exploration of the Internet themselves. There are few real barriers to prevent lawyers from learning about the Internet.
Lawyers are certainly intelligent enough to surf the Internet.
The cost involved is minimal. Establishing an Internet connection is not a difficult proposition. Assuming you have a computer and a telephone line, you need only three things. First, you need a modem, the hardware that allows the computer to connect to the Internet. Third, you need to obtain and install the necessary software.
