I wish to tap into the vast experience of this listserv concerning closed 
litigation records: 

How do you define litigation records; is it pleadings (i.e., complaints, 
interrogatories, answers), depositions etc.?

Do you consider production records as part of the closed litigation 
record?
      If you do, does not that open you up to a never ending cycle 
      of placing the documents on hold for every hold order that might 
apply?

Do you consider produced records that were responsive as litigation 
records or just regular business documents?

When a case ends do the produced business documents revert back to the 
original retention periods?

Does anyone use their outside attorney's litigation records as the 
"official record" and destroy the others as copies?

Thank you in advance for your help with my rudimentary questions.
