Home > About Us > Policies and Procedures for Public Access to Administrative Records
The following policies and procedures govern all public requests for access to administrative records in the custody of the Attorney Regulation Counsel. These policies and procedures are adopted to provide general information regarding the process and fees related to a request for information made pursuant to Public Access to Information and Records Rule 2 (P.A.I.R.R.2) and to promote the goal of transparency in the Judicial Branch.
To assist in making the process as swift, inexpensive and efficient as possible, anyone requesting documents should be aware of the following:
The Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel charges fees to recover costs incurred in connection with responding to a request for records. Prior to responding to a request, the custodian will provide the requestor with an estimate of the costs associated with responding to the request. The records will not be retrieved, redacted, copied or otherwise produced until payment of the cost estimate is received. If, after the records are gathered, redacted and copied/scanned, the estimate is too small, records will not be produced until the balance due is paid. If the estimate is greater than the actual cost of production, the overpayment will be returned at the time the records are produced.
Copies, scanned images or data storage device:
Research, retrieval, redaction, supervising inspection:
If review or research, including redaction of documents, is required to provide the information requested, a fee may be assessed at the rate of $30.00 per hour to recoup the costs of Attorney Regulation Counsel’s employee time and resources.
