Paralegal File Naming System

The attorney asked for the order. You had it. You named it final_FINAL2.

$19

7 pages · Workbook + checklists (instant PDF)

If the attorney cannot find the order in thirty seconds, the architecture failed — not the search bar. This is the naming and folder system LexOp uses on family-law and DWI files.

Print it. Put the firm’s extra document-type codes on the blank page. Then stop inventing folder names mid-matter.

Included

  • YYYY-MM-DD_LastName_DocType_v01 formula
  • Document-type vocabulary (Retainer, Plead, Corr, Disc, Exh, Order)
  • Default eight-folder matter tree
  • Same-hour consult-to-file checklist
  • Incoming mail / email filing log
  • Friday 4:00 p.m. desk close

Bonus

  • Stop signs: file-stamped copies, IDs, workproduct
  • Clio caption formula
