Applicability:
This rule applies to non-public court
records.
Statement of the Rule:
The court may share court records classified

that:
(1) the record is
necessary for investigating a complaint;
(2) the need for
the record outweighs the interests protected by closure;
(3) the Commission will take the steps
necessary to protect the interests favoring closure if the record is sent to
the Supreme Court as part of the review of the Commission’s order; and
(4) the Commission
will restrict access to the record to the same degree as the court.
