This may or may not figure into the retention issue of the files in question 
originally, because in Gus's case, they are University files, but what if 
the case involves a minor???
 As I recall from some work I've done with cities and counties in the past, 
all proceedings related to a minor are to be sealed when they become an 
adult (age 18, in most States) and they cannot be unsealed without a Court 
order to do so.
 And this raises another question related to these types of files involving 
cases where the individual is a minor... what about the recent trend to try 
some minors as adults? I'm not disagreeing with the policy, but it seems as 
if it creates an issue with respect to applying the existing standard 
regarding sealing records of minors!! 
 And people think this is a BORING profession! HA!
