First featured in that fabulous motion picture Monsters, Inc., 2319 is the callsign for the Child Detection Agency, a mythical swat team which gets called in when the chips are really down.

They are the only people you need, or who can help, if there is a “twenty-three nineteen” alert — you know, like when a salesperson receives a communication longer than one paragraph, that he realises someone — unless he does something quickly, being him — will have to read.[1]

Likewise, the CDA is the one group in the firm who can help you with a question whose answer appears to require a modicum of legal analysis to answer, however central it may be to the day job of the person asking it.

For most of the bank, that’s you, legal eagles.
