Fred:
Not irrational. I would never want my organization's counsel to irritate a judge. I would just like the attorneys to be up front about this and not try to give an excuse or a "just because"...Retention periods and methods with a "just because" or a "just in case" as the reason do not fly - especially from an attorney. Please articulate your reason and I will do my best to help.
