I've recently experienced a few attorney departures, which for the Records 
Dept, usually results in us receiving records that were checked out to the 
attorney or need to added and catalogued/described. What prompts me to 
write is that I just received about 20 feet of paper records in no 
particular order and with minimal description at best. The records include 
everything - matters, administration, personal and family. basically, it 
looks like the office was packed up and delivered to my doorstep. I can 
and will take care of this. But in going forward, I would like to develop 
a policy whereby attorneys who are about to leave, must review their 
records and take the necessary steps to ensure they are routed to the 
Records Dept or to other attorneys. It's been a while since I had to 
enforce such a policy, and my mind is drawing a blank at the moment (If I 
had lunch today, I could blame it on the post-lunch food coma. Maybe it's 
a hunger coma?) Would anyone be willing to share their policy/procedure 
statements?

Thanks, Stephen
