			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Effective January 1, 2008, New Hampshire adopted a rule that clearly protects persons who, in good faith, e-mail confidential information to a lawyer from having the lawyer use the information against the prospective client.  The comments to New Hampshshire Rule <a title="NH 1.18" href="http://www.nhbar.org/publications/ethics/rule-1-18.asp">1.18</a> provide in part: &#8220;<font size="2">In its version of these provisions, New Hampshire’s rule eliminates the terminology of &#8216;discussion&#8217; or &#8216;consultation&#8217; and extends the protections of the rule to persons who, in a good faith search for representation, provide information unilaterally to a lawyer who subsequently receives and reviews the information.  This change recognizes that persons frequently initiate contact with an attorney in writing, by e-mail, or in other unilateral forms, and in the process disclose confidential information that warrants protection.&#8221;</font></p>
<p><font size="2">The rule no doubt makes it more important for NH lawyersto use effective disclaimers on their web pages.</font>
