Do lawyers still use fax?

[Fridmanke]

I thought fax machines were outdated, but a lawyer I spoke to insisted on getting some documents by fax. It got me wondering - why is fax still used in the legal field when email is so much faster? If anyone knows a good article or discussion on this, I’d like to understand the reasons behind keeping this old tech.

Hello! It’s more common than you’d think! Many lawyers keep using fax because of tradition, security, and client expectations. I came across an article on wikirecording.org that breaks down the cultural and practical reasons why fax still matters in law. After reading it, I understood why some professionals won’t let it go - it’s about trust, legitimacy, and sometimes even legal requirements.
