Subject: In-House Lawyer Calendars
I have managed to come up with a question that has stumped our
litigation
lawyer, and we thought it might be interesting to ask the list serve for
their opinion.
I work for a private company with in-house counsels. I am arguing that
in-house lawyer calendars can not be destroyed if they have
meetings/info
related to any current Litigation Hold Order. Her counter argument is
that it will make all of their calendars permanent records, since, by
nature, everything she and the other lawyers do touches on legal
matters.
She argues, persuasively, that the calendar hold applies only to
individuals directly involved in the legal issue; while the lawyer's
calendar entries are just a day to day record of their activity and not
truly tied to the case.
For those Records Managers with in-house counsels in private industry,
how
do you treat your lawyers calendars;
1. as part of the litigation records? or 2. just a calendar?
Thanks
