(a) Review Procedures. Court files and other public records may be reviewed by the public during the official business hours of the clerk's office. Any person requesting to review a file must record in the clerk's office their name, telephone number, case number(s) of the file(s) reviewed, the date, and the time taken out and returned. Review of files is limited to the public area of the clerk's office and all files must be returned in their original condition. Files may be photocopied in the clerk's office public area, and all pages shall be replaced in their original order, in document number sequence. Failure to abide by this rule could result in suspension of the privilege to review files.

(b) Court files may not be removed from the clerk's office for any reason, without prior Court permission.
