How long do casings last? I have some that have been in the fridge for over a year - should I toss them and get new??

If properly salted and refrigerated they do not go bad.  You will have some unpleasent smells coming from them but just rinse, resalt and add a bit of water.  They will be fine.   The smell is muted when you change the water.  Worse thing that can happen is they get dried out or freezer burn.
 
thanks al - they have been packed in the salt they came in and sealed in the bag they came in. and they were seriously stinky when we opened them.
 
I have some a good bit more than a year.

Still packed in original bag and salt.

They are ok still.

Stanky aint bad..they just need a bath..
