I like the analogy regarding unity and sovereignty as state vs federal jurisdictions so I'm stealing this thought process, but I'm going to claim it as original on my part.
The piece is a blog... not and endorsement by the ABA. Also, the ABA does not establish any laws at the state, or higher level. It is an organization for lawyers, just as the AMA is a club for doctors.
The blog is dated 2011.
The blog is a quote from a book:

Just as/. runs articles that do not serve to endorse the contents, the same can be said here.
This is my wheelhouse and using "free" (as in you are the product) for a law firm is still not something IT can support.
Add to this, the question about the elephant in the room:
"Free," is paid for, precisely how?
Google provides a free lunch if you agree to buy the plate.
They scan their docs to fine-tune advertisement delivery.
And they are not bullet proof:
Google announced Tuesday that it had been the target of a “highly sophisticated” and coordinated hack attack against its corporate network. It said the hackers had stolen intellectual property and sought access to the Gmail accounts of human rights activists. The attack originated from China, the company said.
I'm 71 years old and I grew up admiring AT&T and Bell Labs.
Nokia Bell Labs (formerly named AT&T Bell Laboratories, Bell Telephone Laboratories and Bell Labs) is an American research and scientific development company, owned by Finnish company Nokia. Its headquarters are located in Murray Hill, New Jersey, in addition to other laboratories around the rest of the United States and in other countries.
[Emphases mine.]
I was in awe of the fantastic news that came out of that lab. It was the gold standard for risk-taking and production of marvelous technologies. It was home to world-class scientists.
You're familiar with those moments when we think to ourselves, "Hey! Whatever happened to...?"
I think you're close, but what it is, is an extension of the greed panic.
When core competency has maxed out, there's all these cash reserves that are not helpful to the primary need to increase CEO and shareholder well being.
Desperate times call for desperate measures, and the big players have to go off script and scramble to make more money.
They do that by purchasing companies that have nothing to do with what they do.
In the next step, we'll see big the companies sell off the satellite businesses in an effort to implode back to their core.
The law firm where I was the IT manager asked about Google Docs.
Appreciate that I've been retired 2 years now and I'm losing my tech savvy as each month goes by, so my remarks apply to about three years ago:
We had a Microsoft Office site license and the program itself was "on the ground," installed on the server (Exchange) and on each desktop.
I pointed out that because Google Docs was free, there could be no explicit or implied guarantees or warranties regarding up time or backups.
Also, "cloud-based," was equivalent to "hackable."
Because the Firm DID expressly, and implicitly, guarantee privacy, and indeed was bound to protect client and court information according to law, Google Docs was not a solution I could get behind.
To this day, they have opted to store all that stuff locally with no part of that data facing the Internet.
I think it was a good call.
I do not know (or care, now) if Google Docs has a subscription service that would ease minds about those concerns.
Moon shots are off core competency and tangential to to greed.
The major players have way too much cash on hand are out of ideas regarding core competency.
I've lived the movie and it doesn't end well.
I worked at Mobil Oil as a suit and they branched out into insurance, real estate, retail (Montgomery Wards) because they had cash to burn and they were already out of ideas regarding exploration, and they'd milked crude oil almost to the point of excess.
They got bought out for a song.
Apple is a good example. They bought TV technology, autonomous cars, wind farms in China...

Perhaps you were on vacay when the fucking oil glut hit ...
Last year, the Commission ruled that Ireland must recover 13 billion euros in, asshole.
Old joke.

Thanks.
Why did you avoid the issue of selling your all your shit to third parties?
Thank you.
Interesting.
Businesses use H-1B as part of their model.
If implemented as (proposed) wording, what evasive steps do you think they will take?
I've never worked for a company that was big enough to hire H-1B in my local area.
I'm retired from Mobil Oil but my town is not metro.
Thanks.
You're certainly not helping and I can't help you because fuck group think.
On one hand, I don't have a problem with this because fuck H-1B visas.
On the other hand, I don't like this because fuck government fucking with capitalism.
On the third hand, fuck that pussy-grabbing goddam mother fucking son of a bitch.
Thanks for the heads-up on the pay version service.
I'm old school and learned back before "networks" and "Internet" were things that paranoia has not been coded out of anything.
I haven't seen this ... yet.
I'm running FF 51.0.1 (32-bit) with Adblock Plus and NoScript.
Done.

Hackers are trading millions of Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo logins
5 million Gmail passwords leaked
It's not a matter of, "if," it's, "when."
I agree.

Yeah, Bell Labs.

I do believe Google Docs is approved by the bar association ...
"I do believe," is a guess. Why are you guessing?
Second question: Which "bar association?"
I think you're close, but what it is, is an extension of the greed panic.
When core competency has maxed out, there's all these cash reserves that are not helpful to the primary need to increase CEO and shareholder well being.
Desperate times call for desperate measures, and the big players have to go off script and scramble to make more money.
They do that by purchasing companies that have nothing to do with what they do.
In the next step, we'll see big the companies sell off the satellite businesses in an effort to implode back to their core.
Look at IBM, Yahoo, HP ... and Mobil Oil
... and I'm sure ...
You're guessing, when the Terms of Service are down at the bottom of each page.
As custodian and gatekeeper of data, I don't guess.
I never met a 4 I didn't like.
... is another goddam non-politician with an axe to grind.
Her personal shit is not on my to do list.

Perhaps you're thinking of this case.

I was saying ...
The pussy grabber in chief is swinging a bat.
Facebook and Google "think," but thoughts are useless as tits on a boar and don't actually matter.
It is wrong-headed for business managers to do risk analysis of data security.
In my world of IT management, we all knew, from firm to firm, what best practices would allow us to be top-notch gatekeepers.
Business made the decisions because they were the owners of the data.
IT managers and staff were simply the custodians.
