Nancy Anne Temple was an in-house attorney for
Arthur Andersen who advised Michael Odom and
David B. Duncan about Arthur Andersen policies regarding retention of documents from client engagements. Duncan oversaw the shredding of Arthur Andersen documents concerning their work for client
Enron, between October 22 and November 9, 2001 (See the
Timeline of the Enron scandal). A memo from Nancy Temple played a key role in the conviction of Arthur Andersen on charges of obstruction of justice. That conviction was later overturned.
