Skupsky, J.D., CRM, FAI; and John C. Montana John C.

Although most people think of statutes and regulations as the mainstay of records management law, case law is an important complement to them. Case law differs in two important ways from statutory law. Courts examine real-life situations and apply legal doctrines to them; therefore, cases provide insight on likely real-world outcomes. Unlike statutes and regulations, case law rarely becomes outdated or obsolete. Instead, later cases build on the holdings of earlier cases, solidifying or expanding the original doctrine. Even though the law does not mandate a records management program in most industries, the courts expect organizations of all types--whether private business, nonprofit, or government--to have a system in place to identify and retrieve records during discovery in lawsuits. Law, Records and Information Management examines leading decisions from state and federal courts and provides * practical, procedural recommendations for developing and implementing a records management system * selected text from more than 175 leading court cases * detailed legal analysis of the important cases, indexes, tables, and cross references to help the reader find relevant information ISBN: 0-0929316-32-0 (Information Requirements Clearinghouse) Hard cover, English, 700 pages, 1994 Catalog No. B4364 $85 ARMA member or non-member Legal Requirements for Business Records: The Electronic Edition Donald S.
