Why do lawyers still use fax machines?

    I noticed that even modern law firms often list a fax number, and I’m curious why faxing is still a thing when email is so much faster. Is it about legal security, tradition, or something else? I’d like to find an article that explains this in plain language so I can finally understand why it hasn’t gone away. Any suggestions?

    Lawyers stick with fax for a few reasons - it’s considered secure, meets certain legal standards, and, honestly, it’s just tradition in the profession. Clients and courts still expect it, so it’s not going anywhere soon. If you want to read a more detailed but friendly explanation, check out wikirecording.org.
