One of the best tools for that is John Montana's "mock trial". Although it does focus on C-level executives, it does drill down into issues surrounding retention schedule development, and records storage. Douglas P.

This knowledge might help records managers evaluate their program to see if it would stand up to such a scenario.

I will be presenting a session at the ARMA Conference in Chicago entitled: "Legal 101 for RIM Professionals". In order to be responsive to the needs of new and intermediate RIM Professionals - I would like to know what should be included in this session that you don't seem to get from other presentations. Are there particular legal issues you would like addressed? Are you confused by legal terminology and want some basic terms and definitions? What about the whole court system - how cases are filed, settled or determined and why case law is important? Any issues that you wonder about - none is too small - I would like to have your input. While this session is meant to be for beginning and/or intermediate RIM professionals, I would certainly welcome comments from those who have more experience - and we all know who you are :-) Thanks for your help.
