March Issue of Nevada Lawyer Explores Lawyers Working Remotely
|
The world has had to learn a new way to do business as we all still deal with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused many law firms to adapt to working remotely. The March issue of Nevada Lawyer takes a detailed look at how lawyers are dealing with this new work model.
This month’s issue offers tips on how to work effectively in a remote setting and how the Department of Indigent Defense Services has continued to help its clients despite the pandemic. It also offers an ethics CLE article on protecting client information during remote lawyering.
The March magazine also profiles the 13 lawyers who are serving in the 2021 Nevada Legislature, and the issue includes the 2020 State Bar of Nevada Annual Report.
As always, the magazine includes regular features such as the president’s message, news and notes, and the bar counsel report. While you are there, check out the Nevada Lawyer archives for a lengthy list of back issues.

Ask a Nerd: Scheduling Emails to Send in Advance |
|
Want to write an email in advance, and have it automatically send at a specific date and time? This tip is great for working ahead on projects, setting up reminder emails to a team or working around an out-of-office contact’s schedule.
To do so in Outlook, create and write your email as normal, but before hitting send, open up the “Options” tab:
- Then, click the “…” tab and select “Delay Delivery.”
- In the pop-up box that appears, check “Do not deliver before” and set the date and time to when you want the email to be delivered.
- Close the box, and then hit “Send” like normal. Your email will wait in your outbox until the specified time.
Note that you will need to have Outlook open and running for the email to send – so it is a good idea to schedule delivery for a time you know you’ll be at your computer and using Outlook, or at least when Outlook will be open on an active machine.
