Is email an accepted method of communication with regards to being 'admissible' in court, or is it better to send a certified letter? :confused:

E-mail is worthless in court since it can be so easily forged.

IMO, I think it would be okay to send an email if you can set the message up as requesting a read receipt requested so that you know that whoever you are sending it to got it and has read it. However, also IMO, it would be good to send a certified letter just so that you have a signature of them getting it.

Seniorjudge: I didn't think about the email being forged.

Actually, it depends - our judge accepted email. But only because we both stipulated that they were accurate.

Well of course! If y'all stipulate to the phone book, it will be admitted in to evidence!
