In law practice, staff responsible for information technology, records
and administration wrestle with the costs and effort devoted to miles of shelves
of paper files and seemingly innumerable boxes stored on and offsite. It has

strategy, including the scanning of most new paper documents. However, these
scanning initiatives must survive objections frequently posed by lawyers.
