The firm I work at is in the process of switching our conflict database. The
question that was posed was for closed files how long back should our
conflict database include. 

For instance when a matter is closed, the file whether physical and/or
electronic is saved for 10 years, after which it is destroyed of properly.
With this in mind if we had a client for a single case or multiple cases
with the last matter closing 15 years ago, a conflict check will have this
client appear, however the firm is no longer is possession of any material
due to retention policies. Is it necessary to have in our systems the names
of clients for cases that were closed in the 1980's? or even the 90's when
we no longer represent them or have any trace of their file left?
