I was wondering what the general rules were regarding cover letters. For instance, if I meet someone at an info session and they give me the email address of someone at HR to send my resume to, should it be with a CL?

yes - always with your resume
Always unless they specify otherwise
what if a contact that i have casually tells me to send them a copy of my resume?
He/She'll will most likely be passing on your resume to HR people, so you should definitely have a cover letter.
then definitely have a cover letter. If you are just requesting for an informational interview, there's no need for a cover letter. Just email, with resume attached would do.
Hmmm. I have been in contact with a couple family friends in banking and they all asked me to send them a copy of my resume, saying they would pass it on to HR and friends at other banks. I did not attach a cover letter, am I in trouble? Should I always have a cover letter in the future?
