It doesn’t matter if it’s her lawyer. Any lawyer would have told her not to do this because it damages her case, and the emails are discoverable anyway in pretrial.

Also, I have to ask, why didn’t she just print them? Or take screen pics with her phone? Emailing things from work directly to external parties seems rather dumb for a computer expert.

Any lawyer I know would have told her don't rely on discovery if you can help it. Why do you think it damages her case?

Do you think Google doesn't monitor printing?

I can imagine a lawyer saying to send the documents directly and not send them to herself. It helps show she didn't distribute them to anyone else. CCing a paralegal would still make it multiple accounts.
