This was changed by comment 2 and 3 to Rule 4.4. Those comments indicate that a lawyer who “knows or reasonably should know” the documents where inadvertently sent electronically is required to promptly notify the sender so they may take protective measures. Whether the lawyer is required to take additional steps is a matter of law because there is a question of whether the privileged status of the document has been waived. Further, Rule 4.4 does not address the legal duties of lawyers who receive information that they “know or reasonably should know” may have been inappropriately obtained. The determination of whether to voluntarily return or delete the unread information is a matter of professional judgment of the lawyer.</p><p></p><p><strong>2008 NO OPINIONS

This was changed by comment 2 and 3 to Rule 4.4. Those comments indicate that a lawyer who “knows or reasonably should know” the documents where inadvertently sent electronically is required to promptly notify the sender so they may take protective measures. Whether the lawyer is required to take additional steps is a matter of law because there is a question of whether the privileged status of the document has been waived. Further, Rule 4.4 does not address the legal duties of lawyers who receive information that they “know or reasonably should know” may have been inappropriately obtained. The determination of whether to voluntarily return or delete the unread information is a matter of professional judgment of the lawyer.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>\u003C/p>\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>2008 NO OPINIONS
