Just like a virtual office, virtual concepts are becoming increasingly popular and in high demand. It is a strategic alternative to downsizing and I think more SME's could benefit from the use of them.

My understanding is that the technology to create a secure virtual reality law office, such as one in Second Life, is not quite there yet. However, I think it's only a matter of time before the attorneys who are active in Second Life will be able to securely open virtual reality law offies and practice a completely new form of law. It will be exciting to watch what happens. I agree with you, Timothy.

Of course as you mentioned above, security is a concern, so you wouldn't want to handle any real world matters there, but it's a neat marketing concept. As time progresses, SSL encryption techniques and other secure methodologies will come to the virtual world as well. So eventually one will be able to conduct secure business in this setting as well.

In conjunction with website design, and practice policies, I think it is important to check the advertising regulations of the state bar association where you will be practicing, and also the guidelines for acceptance of payment as to whether paypal etc. are fully compliant solutions.
