What does Case eligible for destruction mean?

Answer 1

which trial court records may be destroyed and which must be kept. Because it may not always be easy to determine how a particular document in a case file ought to be categorized under these rules, only experienced and knowledgeable court staff should be involved in identifying which documents must be kept and which may be destroyed. In case of doubt, please contact your supervisor, the clerk of court, the trial court administrator or the custodian judge before destroying or disposing of any court record. NOTICE TO HISTORICAL SOCIETY Before a court destroys or otherwise disposes of any court record, the State Historical Society must be notified of what records are going to be destroyed or disposed of, 90 days prior to their proposed destruction, or disposition. If the Historical Society wants any of the records, those items should not be destroyed, and arrangements should be made with the Historical Society for the transfer of those records. If the Historical Society does not respond within 90 days or notifies the court that it does not want the records, they can then be destroyed. If a court is microfilming or otherwise imaging court records, the Historical Society must still be notified before the original court document is destroyed.
