50.2 Inspection Procedures
1. Clerk should allow inspection and copying of case files when possible, although a clerk
may refuse inspection and copying if the request is too burdensome or disruptive to the
clerk's office. If inspection and copying is not possible at the time of the request, the
clerk should arrange a time, within three (3) business days of the inspection request, in
which to allow inspection and copying.
2. Clerk may require requestor to make a written inspection request specifying what
document(s) is to be inspected. Inspection requests by mail may be fulfilled at the clerk's
discretion and upon payment of copy and postage fees.
3. Clerk or requestor, at clerk's discretion, may search computer reader terminal or index
cards and pull record. Clerk may require requestor to search and inspect in clerk's
presence. If parts of a record are confidential, clerk must search and make copies of
non-confidential items.
4. Clerk or requestor may make copies of documents in a court file upon requestor's
payment of the copy fee as set forth in the Accounting Manual.
NOTE: Unless otherwise sealed or confidential, documents filed in the court record and
prepared by a court reporter (for example: depositions and transcripts) are public record
and copies may be obtained from the clerk. Copies of recordings may be acquired at a
cost as set forth in the Accounting Manual.
5. Clerk is not required to create a record if one does not exist, e.g., lists.
