Original papers and documents on file in the Court Clerk's office shall not be removed, subject to the following exceptions:

The Court Clerk or a deputy may transport files to and from Judges' chambers or courtrooms. An attorney or member of a Judge's staff may remove a file to the Judge's chambers or courtroom, provided that the Court Clerk's staff has knowledge of such removal. The Chief Judge may make a blanket Order allowing one or more bonded abstractors to remove Court files. Files may be checked out by an attorney for not more than twenty-four (24) hours upon signing a proper receipt as prescribed by the Court Clerk. Only attorneys (and not members of their staff) may actually check out files. In order to check out a file, the person checking out the file must sign his or her signature along with the time that the file was checked back in to the Court Clerk. Any attorney who exceeds the twenty-four (24) hour time limit may have his or her privilege to check out files suspended.

No papers shall be inserted or removed from the file folders except by the Court Clerk or a deputy.
