 What your law firm can do
Many professional
organizations have begun programs and made studies about the
issues of paper usage in law firms. The American Bar Association
is promoting green office policies through their Law Office Climate
Challenge. Click
to learn more.
Best practices for law offices to reduce paper waste include:
- Purchase Office Paper with Recycled Content
- Recycle Mixed Office Paper
- Use Double-sided Copying and Printing
AbacusLaw customers have greatly reduced waste by replacing
paper calendars, telephone message slips, sticky notes, documents
and court forms with electronic files. Customers tell us regularly
they've come closer to a truly paperless office than they ever
thought possible. The remote access and synchronization features
of the software let you work from home or in other office locations.
Traffic congestion, pollution and gas consumption are all reduced.

conscious.
