The biggest difference between the discussion groups and email groups is that messages posted in the discussion groups remain posted, as do their responses. Email group messages are just emails. Their contents are not stored anywhere. The downside to discussion groups is that they are less convenient than email groups. Using the discussion groups requires you to sign on to WisBar and then to sign in to the discussion groups area.
Email groups are as fast as sending and receiving email.
Generally, discussion groups are better for an online sharing of ideas, whereas email groups are best for distributing information quickly and easily. Non-attorneys must first obtain approval to join. If you are interested in joining the discussion groups, please send an email to our service representatives. Due to the two sign-up steps required, registering for the discussion groups may be a bit confusing. If you are having trouble, simply email the WisBar webmaster .
