ORDER FOR THE FILING OF CIA VOUCHERS FOR COURT APPOINTED ATTORNEYS
Each voucher presented must be supported by a verified, detailed time sheet, compiled from currently kept records. Each entry must contain the following information:
1. Date service was rendered.
2. Service rendered — entries such as "interview with client," "read and analyzed order," "legal research," and "prepared motion" are vague and unacceptable. Entries shall include the purpose, topic, title of order or motion, specific person with whom conversation or interview was held, and whatever other details will enable the Court to evaluate the entry.
3. Time spent shall be marked in decimals, e.g.: 6 minutes = .1, 15 minutes = .25.
Vague entries will be stricken, time sheets considered not in compliance with the above shall be returned to the attorney for corrections. Supporting documents such as receipts or photocopies of originally kept time slips may be requested by the Court.
