Purpose
The Legal Support Services Deskbook ("LSS Deskbook") has been prepared by the 多宝游戏下载 Legal Division ("Legal Division" or "Division") to provide policies and procedures, shell contracts, and standard forms for in-house attorneys, experts, and legal support services ("LSS") providers. It sets forth many of the 多宝游戏下载s requirements that govern the relationship between the 多宝游戏下载 and experts or LSS providers. It is important that in-house attorneys, experts, and LSS providers read, maintain familiarity with, and adhere to the provisions in the LSS Deskbook.
The LSS Deskbook includes policies and procedures and forms that the 多宝游戏下载 requires its experts and LSS providers to follow and use. Each chapter covers a key area or interest. Appendices provide additional information, forms, and worksheets. In-house attorneys will ensure that experts and LSS providers are provided copies of the LSS Deskbook.
