 5.01 Media Labels - Technical Standards





  1. Misspellings: Client names, matter names or client-matter numbers are misspelled. This can be especially frustrating when the Firm’s client wishes to see or get a copy of the vendor product. If our client’s name is SMITH, a CD labeled SITH or SMATH or SMYTHE instantly calls into question the quality of the content of the media.

  2. Handwritten: Not only is handwriting hard to read, but it also lends itself to missing information.
