Hi, Diane.

I've not seen one.  At my former company, I had a liaison in Legal, who
provided final review and approval of all records destructions.  I ran
and distributed quarterly reports for each department/division, and
after receiving their approval for destruction, they were funneled to
Legal.  Quarterly reviews seemed to work best for us, because things
didn't pile up too badly.  However, destruction review after removal of
a litigation hold was another story.

Regards,

Stephanie McCutcheon, CRM

Please continue reading if you are:
In a Fortune 500 company
With a formal records management program

No -- this isn't a trick question!  In your experience, have you seen
effective, records review and destruction approval processes in which
attorneys did not sign off on the destruction of records?

We have a client who asked us to explore this issue -- they are
concerned about the time it will take for an attorney to review and sign
off on the destruction of records for a company their size.

We want to ensure that the destruction approval control mechanism will
stand up in court -- so have you seen other approaches that you believe
are defensible? Are you reviewing your internal approval processes,
given the new FRCP changes?

Thanks in advance for your time and input!
