In this week’s Law Times newspaper, Robert Todd discusses Dynamic Lawyers‘ first report on Toronto Lawyers and the Internet. Robert Todd’s article can be viewed here.

They’re buying things on eBay and advertising their goods and services on Craigslist. They’re going online to find information and deals. They’re increasing their buyer power and putting those who don’t get online at risk of losing them.
