I've been using emails as Sherri does, for post-fourway memoranda. [snip] My own preference is an agreement that post-fourway memos and scheduling communications can be handled this way, but that substantive discussions outside the fourway meeting room should not be initiated in emails [snip]

I agree with Pauline. However, another way email can be used, cautiously, is for "off-line" communications with your collaborative counterpart. With [and only with] the agreement of the parties, I and other counsel may use email and phone communications to discuss a concern with our counterpart that is not passed directly on to the client. In such cases, it is very important to label the email as "confidential" or equivalent.
