I guarantee you that our lawyers would not use high-speed rail to go from office to office because of their tight schedules.
While riding the train, the lawyers could do whatever it is they do on their laptops.
It would be a more productive use of their time than driving a car and having to focus all of their attention on traffic.
True, they could do work on their laptops while on public transportation.
Now, while they’re in their cars, that’s when they use their cell phones, which they couldn’t do on public transportation without having to worry about (1) disturbing anyone and (2) anyone hearing or seeing CONFIDENTIAL legal information.
They have very, tight schedules when it comes to calls and places to be, and they also have very tight deadlines.
Some of the attorneys might like it for short one-day trip, but I guarantee you the partners would not.
With people snooping over them..
