| There is no per se prohibition on lawyers keeping all of their files in electronic form, but lawyers must: (1) retain paper documents that might be required (such as "testamentary documents, marriage certificates, or handwriting exemplars"); (2) recognize that although the rules "do not specify the form of file maintenance," a lawyer considering destroying a client's paper file "should review that file to make sure that any documents that may be of continued use or benefit to the client only if they are maintained in paper form are not destroyed." |
