Built around how a legal practice actually files: foolscap and manilla folders, suspension and lateral filing with the coloured label systems that make a wall of files searchable, lever arch and archive boxes for closed matters, document wallets for briefs, plus date and numbering stamps, binding machines for court books, and shredders for the material that has to be destroyed rather than filed.

Filing colour-codes better than it alphabetises — lateral file labels in a fixed colour-per-year or colour-per-partner scheme cut retrieval time far more than any folder upgrade. See manilla folders, suspension files, lateral file labels and archive boxes.
