As a quick backtrack to the discussion recently about metadata scrubbers in law firms, I wanted to point to some NC Bar Association proposed ethics opinions on the use of, and obligations surrounding, metadata:
See: http://www.ncbar.com/ethics/propeth.asp, and scroll down to Proposed 2009 Formal Ethics Opinion 1.
Nothing overly surprising, but still should be of interest with regard to email management (including use of scrubbers) and DM if nothing else.
