Heather,

Go to www.arma.org. There will be a book in their bookstore titled
"Records Management in the Legal Environment: A Handbook of Practice and
Procedure." Also poke around the website and explore other ways that
ARMA can help you.

Good luck,

Subject: [RM] question about file retention policies and law firms

I am new to this list and I have a question about file retention
policies and law firms. I currently work for a law firm in northern
Minnesota. I was asked to do some research on file retention/destruction
policies for files and was wondering where to start and what I should be
looking for. I am not sure how long we are supposed to keep certian
client files or if there were any other issues that should be taken into
consideration. I can find examples of file retention polices on the
Internet that have to deal with law firms but was wonering if there was
any thing else I should be looking into as well. I thought that this
list would be a good place to start for ideas of where to look for
information. If anyone has any ideas or a place to start please reply to
me off list. 
 
Thank you, Heather Nord
