[blindlaw] questions about paper files

[Russell J. Thomas, Jr.]

Unfortunately, there is no easy answer to your question. 

To start, the law practice should have only one file per case or per client;
otherwise, if each attorney keeps his/her own file, you have chaos. 

The best option is to have all files kept electronically, recognizing that
of course there will be times when paper documents will have to be used.

If, in your question, you are talking about preparing a Response to a
Request for Documents, unless it is a simple request or limited to a small
number of easily recognized documents, you will probably need sighted help,
especially if you have to take a large volume of documents and decide which
documents must be produced and which documents do not need to be produced.

Subject: [blindlaw] questions about paper files

For attorneys who work in offices with other attorneys, how do you address 
managing the paper file for a case?

Do you set-up the file yourself?  What about when a document needs to be 
referenced or shown to the opposing side?
