RPPTL Listserve Guidelines

To Access the Archives and Lists Click Here

RPPTL has just updated the Listserv system to better serve our section members.

As part of the update, all Listserv moderators who want access to the archives and moderation tools, and members who want access to the archives, must sign up and be verified with a new password for security by clicking this link or visiting https://lists.flarbarrpptl.org. Once at the website, click on the top right of your screen where it reads “Hi Guest,” and a dropdown will display showing “Sign Up For New Account.” Once you click Sign Up for New Account, fill out the form with your First Name, Last Name, and the current email address used for the listserv, along with a new password. You will then need to verify your email, as an email will be sent to your inbox to click and verify. Once you have done so, you will have access to the system by logging into the system at lists.flabarrpptl.org If you have any problems with this process or any other issues regarding the Listserv, please email lists@flabarrpptl.org

As part of the Section’s efforts to maintain communication with our members, we request that you read the information below to understand the functionality and the guidelines for the lists

  1. Know Your Committee’s Listserv email address. A list of committee listservs is at the end of this page.  If your committee doesn’t have one, please email lists@flabarrpptl.org and our List Master can set one up for you.
  1. Maintain Your Committee’s Listserv.
    1. You, or your designee, can manage your listserve directly by requesting a password from the RPPTL at lists@flabarrpptl.org. Thereafter, you can add, delete or modify subscribers by visiting this webpage and logging in: http://lists.floridabarrpptl.org/
  1. Moderated v. Open
    1. Moderated listserves required you, or your designee, to approve postings to the listserve.
    2. Open listserves allow for anyone in the committee to post to the listserve.
    3. Most RPPTL listserves are open.
  1. Listserv Advantages
    1. Automatically updates email addresses so no concerns about people replying all to old emails.
    2. Large committee emails may get caught in spam filters due to the large number of addressees
  1. Listserv Purpose and Function. Gives committee members an easy way to connect for use as a sounding board and exchange information exchange. Each committee can set the groundrules for how you want to use your listserve. Generally discussion is limited to legal and business issues about committee related issues including:
    1. News, comments, and rumors;
    2. Legislation (proposed or passed);
    3. Copies of newsletters, articles, legal memos, announcements, model documents, checklists, summaries, and other practice aids;
    4. Publication or speaking opportunities;
    5. Requests for recommendations of local counsel or specialized counsel;
    6. Optional: Help wanted &  jobs sought
  1. How to post.
    1. To post a message, send email to: the committee listserve address. 
    2. When your message goes out, the name of the “sender” will be the list on behalf of your email address.
    3. The subject matter line will be whatever you typed when you sent your posting.
  1. Attachments.
    1. It is good practice to post attachments on the committee webpage rather than emailing around file.
    2. Any attachments should be only in Word or PDF format.
    3. Whenever you reasonably can, please convert your message into the text of an email message instead. For example, if you are posting a brief summary of an important case, “block select” the text of your summary in Word, then copy it into the body of an email message. That way you won’t inflict an unnecessary attachment on a bunch of people.
    4. Give every attachment a file name that will help the recipient know and remember what it is and make a judgment about whether it’s worth reading. Windows filenames can be 200 characters long, or longer. Use them.
  1. Replies, Scope Of. When you receive each RPPTL Listserv message, it will look as if it came from just the original sender, just one person. As soon as you “Reply” to it, though, the return address will automatically change to the general address for postings to RPPTL Listserv. So whatever you send will go to the ENTIRE list, even if you choose “Reply” rather than “Reply All.” This usually makes sense, because most of the time your responses should go to the entire list. If you really intend to reply just to the original sender (which we encourage if your reply will not be of broad interest), please edit the addressee field so your reply goes only to the original sender. For example, if someone has announced a change of firms and you want to congratulate them, don’t “REPLY” to their posting. Send them a new email message outside of the RPPTL Listserv – doublecheck the to box of your email!
  1. Replies, Format. Replies should include the text of the message being replied to, but feel free to delete accumulated disclaimers, etc. Consider whether to update the subject matter line if it has become outdated.
  1. Set Membership Criteria; New Members. To keep volume low and quality high, many committees limit listserve access to committee members.  Some committees allow anyone to join.
  1. Waiver Of Disclaimers; Confidentiality. By posting to a RPPTL list, you waive any confidentiality, forwarding, or other restrictions in any disclaimer in your email message. This is a public forum, even though membership is limited. Post no confidential information.
  1. Caveats. All postings are automatically subject to these disclaimers, caveats, warnings, and disclosures, none of which need be stated: Every posting represents the personal opinion of the sender, only at the moment of sending, and does not bind or estop the sender or their colleagues, organization, or clients in any way. All intellectual property rights are reserved. No posting shall be construed as legal advice or as establishing an attorney‐client relationship. No reader of a posting should rely on it. Postings may be inaccurate, misguided, misleading, or stupid. Any attachments might contain viruses. Use a virus checker.
