However, I don't think the onus should be on clients to rebel. Lawyers already get a bad rap. Nickel and diming clients (especially when those charges add up) leave a bad taste to clients who are already footing the bill for professional services. Absolutely.

Clients, therefore, had to pay for them. Now that it's all been reduced to bits and bytes the need for those charges has been obviated but law firms realize that if they ditch the copier then a profit center goes out as well. They need those nickels and dimes to keep profit on top of their administrative bloat. As clients begin to rebel, law firms will be forced to evolve or die.
