forensic material
Explanation:
41.112 Part 1D of the Crimes Act defines ‘forensic material’ as samples; hand, finger, foot or toe prints; photographs or video recordings; or casts or impressions taken from or of a person’s body by a forensic procedure. Part 1D regulates the collection and destruction of forensic material obtained through a forensic procedure—but there is some uncertainty as to the extent to which it regulates the use, storage and disclosure of forensic material.

On second thought, I think 材 also refers to other materials, like a knife, a gun etc, which may be used in court. Therefore, I would render it as "To examine/appraise documents and other materials".
