If that's the case, then you might require the judge's blessing - or at least the opposing council's for whatever preservation action you take (short of leaving them on the phones). The courts typically prefer preserving evidence in the state it is discovered (i.e. on the phone). Come December 1st, though there are changes in the Rules of Evidence (in Federal Court anyway) that may give you some leeway in how to handle those items
