Practice and utility of record keeping norms in risk management in judicial system

The litigation and its journey has to be documented right from its inception.
How and why the litigation came up to court. What made the parties to come up to court has to be documented. The different versions of different parties are also documented.
How the respective partied carried litigation, what was brought before the law has to be documented. How the litigation and for whom against whom was carried is documented.
Ultimately the entire journey summed up and a judgement comes up  and that shows how a decision was taken by a judge of a court .
This entire history is meticulously maintained and preserved in the forms of records of the court.
Norms and guidelines have been laid down how these records shall be maintained. The required details have been identified and formats have been developed. More over certain time frame has been laid down keeping in view the relative importance of each documents or detail for which that particular document or entry or information has to be preserved.
This all is called record keeping.
This record keeping mechanism has further force of certain laws and rules.
