RULE 12. COURT RECORDS
- (a) Removal of Records: No original record, paper, document, or
exhibit filed with the Court shall be taken from the courtroom or
from the offices of the Court or from the custody of a Judge or
employee of the Court, except as authorized by a Judge of the Court
or except as may be necessary for the Clerk to furnish copies or to
transmit the same to other courts for appeal or other official
purposes. With respect to return of exhibits after a decision of
the Court becomes final, see Rule
143(d)(2).
- (b) Copies of Records: After the Court renders its decision in
a case, a plain or certified copy of any document, record, entry,

the Court, may be obtained upon application to the Court's Copywork
Office and payment of the required fee. Unless otherwise permitted
by the Court, no copy of any exhibit or original document in the
files of the Court shall be furnished to other than the parties
until the Court renders its decision. With respect to protective
orders that may restrict the availability of exhibits and
documents, see Code Section 7461 and Rule
