Other case file material or audio electronically recorded court proceedings shall only be inspected with permission of the Court. All inspections shall be made under the supervision of court personnel. Original papers and tapes shall not be removed from the office of the clerk.

Fee for Copies. A charge of $1.00 per page shall be made for a photostatic copy of any document. Copy fees shall be paid in advance. A charge of $8.00 per hour, prorated for any part thereof, shall be made where any court personnel's time in excess of five (5) minutes is required to collect, collate, copy or otherwise make ready or available court records for inspection. Any such fee shall be deposited in advance based upon the clerk's reasonable estimation of the time required.

5. COUNSEL OF RECORD: When counsel is retained or appointed to represent any party, such attorney shall immediately notify the clerk in writing of such representation. Any counsel intending to withdraw from representation must submit a written request therefor and such counsel shall appear at the next scheduled court proceeding for such case unless substitute counsel has appeared of record or unless prior leave is granted by the Court. Withdrawal considerations shall be in conformity with the Code of Professional Responsibility.

COURT APPOINTED COUNSEL FEE: Any court appointed counsel who fails to file his or her request for payment of court appointed counsel fees within sixty (60) days after the case is finally disposed of by the Court shall forfeit the right to receive that portion of such fees normally reimbursed to the County by the State. If the fee is paid in full by the County and reimbursement by the State is later refused, the County may deduct the unreimbursed amount of their payment from future court appointed counsel fees due to that applicant.
