I have a question for those who work in law firms regarding how you
handle updating the filing which is produced by attorneys for the file.


Is it the responsibility of the secretaries or the records/file clerk
personnel to update the filing in your firm?   Please explain, how this
works in your firm. 

The law firm I work in is a small to mid-size law firm in the Boston
area.   My firm specializes in insurance defense, commercial litigation,
financial institution litigation, corporate, and real estate. 

We have approximately 46 attorneys, 15 secretaries and 5 records clerks.
Currently each secretary is assigned to either 3 or 4 attorneys.   The
records clerks (a/k/a file clerks) currently assist anywhere from 8-10
attorneys with their filing in addition to the various administrative
duties of the records department such as - storage indexing, storage
database maintenance, client request regarding old closed files, return
of original documents to clients, etc.   

I hope my short background helps in answering my question.   

Thanks,
Irene
