A client asked for his file, was offered a CD-ROM, and declined. The District of Columbia Bar in Opinion 357 answered the question and engaged in a thoughtful discussion of the changing nature of a lawyer's files.
The question presented is whether a lawyer who maintains some or all of a former client’s records solely in electronic form must provide the former client with paper copies of such records if requested by the former client and, if so, whether the lawyer may charge the former client for providing the files in paper form.
