These guidelines have been produced partly at the request of individual legal institutions and practitioners, partly to condense information and records management advice already available for the legal sector and partly to begin to fill the gaps in available advice.  They are works in progress and have been placed on the LRAR website as discussion drafts for review by interested parties and subject matter experts.  LRAR would be most grateful for comments, corrections and suggestions for amendment – all reviews should be sent to the LRAR Project Director, clare.cowling@sas.ac.uk
