(a) A person wishing to inspect or copy a record contained within the subject matter list shall file a written application with the records access officer, which shall reasonably describe the record sought. The application shall contain all available data concerning date, title, file designation, department or unit within the Office of Court Administration, and any other information that may help identify the record. If the information supplied by the applicant is not sufficiently detailed to enable the records access officer to determine whether or not the Office of Court Administration maintains the record, the records access officer shall so notify the applicant and may request further identifying information.
(b) A written request shall not be required for materials, such as civil service examination announcements and informational brochures, which customarily have been made available by the Office of Court Administration to the public in the regular course of business, and for any other material which the records access officer deems to be proper to release without a written request.
