outlined in the Government Paperwork Elimination Act, deem
electronic documents and signatures as legal as those on paper.

Videoconferencing Eliminates Many Routine Trips
By Keith L. Alexander
Lawyers at Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld used to spend a lot of time in the air --
flying to meet with clients, depose witnesses and interview new associates.
But they are traveling less these days because of a videoconferencing system the law firm installed corporate-wide Labor Day weekend last year. The technology has saved the firm hundreds of thousands of dollars in expenditures for airline tickets, hotel stays and car rentals, and it has cut the unproductive hours spent in airports, said Toby T. Gati, senior international adviser.
