I need a good argument to present to my management, and so I immediately thought of this group because of the vast experience and because there are so many people that are better at explaining things than I am...:)

The question is, we were under litigation some time ago on a case that has since gone through court and reached a court decision and been settled with the litigants.  Attorneys on both sides said they are no longer interested in any of these documents.  During the litigation period we retained hundreds of boxes of nonrecord material that were potentially relevant to the case.  This material is not related to the case, but when the case was initiated the attorneys sent a message out saying anyone in these organizations were not allowed to destroy any material.  The record material they collected went to records storage, this is the nonrecord material they collected.

In my opinion, since the litigation case is over, this material should be processed as nonrecord material because it was nonrecord material before the litigation.  We have some staff that think the material should be retained as record material relevant to the litigation case.

So I would appreciate any comments anyone can provide, even if it's to say that I'm all wet.
