| Title: ●Access to Documents by Former Employees of the Department | |
| Abstract: Under DOJ Order 2710.8A, Removal and Maintenance of Documents, officials departing the Department of Justice may not take any copies of nonpublic documents, unless they have specific approval from the head of the component or the Assistant Attorney General for Administration, and they have executed a non-disclosure agreement. The DOJ Order absolutely prohibits the removal of certain categories of documents, such as documents covered by the Privacy Act, where disclosure of such documents is prohibited by law. In addition, it is to be expected that under the specific approval procedure of the DOJ Order, there will be many privileged documents that the Department will not allow departing officials to take. One of the basic concerns that motivates departing officials to request permission to take documents when they leave is that they are uncertain whether they will be able to have access to the documents at a later date when they may need to refresh their memories in order to respond to inquiries, such as governmental investigative inquiries, into their handling of matters at the Department. This regulation establishes a procedure for former employees to obtain access to documents that they originated, reviewed, or signed while at the Department, in limited circumstances where they demonstrate a particular need for such access. | |
