COMING TO YOUR IN-BOX: "YOU'VE GOT A SUBPOENA"
A federal appellate court has ruled that a Las Vegas casino suing an
unlocatable Internet gambling group can use e-mail to send
sufficient notification of the legal action it is taking. Law
professor Ann McGinley of UNLV says the decision sets a precedent
that will "make it easier for lawyers to find elusive defendants. I
think we are moving in the direction of service by e-mail." (AP/San
