The document provides guidelines for naming client folders based on whether they have multiple matters or a single matter. For multiple matters, subfolders should include the client's name, matter name, and categories like emails, pleadings, notes, research, and documents from the client. For a single matter, only the client's name and those categories are needed. It recommends mirroring an existing paper filing system electronically by recreating common paper subfolder structures.

1. HOW TO NAME CLIENT FOLDERS
For clients with multiple matters:
 Active Clients
 Client Last Name, First Name
Matter Name
 Emails and Correspondence
 Pleadings
 Notes and Memos
 Legal Research
 Documents from Client
 etc.
For clients with one matter:
 Client Last Name, First Name

 Pleadings
 Notes and Memos

Tip:
For most practitioners, the best approach for setting up electronic files is to
mirror your existing (or former) paper system.
If your paper system included an accordian file with 5 subfolders labeled
“correspondence,” “file notes,” “discovery,” “pleadings,” and “research”
recreate those subfolders electronically.
