They were joined by Nancy Temple, a lawyer at the firm, who reminded everyone about Andersen's policy on destroying unnecessary records.

Nancy Temple must be surprised to discover that by giving her employer routine legal advice she made it guilty of a felony.

More than one lawyer participated, but over time the main attorney involved was Nancy Temple, who worked in Andersen's Chicago office.

Nancy Temple, the Arthur Andersen lawyer and a leadoff witness, could even emerge as a fall gal.

A memo from Nancy Temple played a key role in the conviction of Arthur Andersen on charges of obstruction of justice.

The text of the email from Nancy Temple is as follows:

Nancy Temple is now married and has two sons.

"Nancy Temple wrote it down."

"Nancy Temple has been wronged, profoundly and morally wronged in this trial," Mr. Hardin said.

At the firm's trial on a charge of obstruction of justice, prosecutors introduced into evidence handwritten notes by Nancy Temple.
