Turning down offers: phone or email?
CSO told me to use phone. Email seems better to me since there is an actual record of it. Either or?

Re: Turning down offers: phone or email?
Please have the common sense and courtesy to make a telephone call.
If you want a record of it, simply follow up with a nice e-mail.
Don't burn bridges. Ever.

Definitely contact the recruiter just to make sure you're marked down as a decline. If there were any partners/associates who you spoke with repeatedly / were nice to you through the process, give them a call as a courtesy. I called a lawyer at every single firm I turned down, and it was not as awkward as it would seem. They seemed glad I called.
Don't call the hiring partner unless you had personal contact with him/her as above.
