SUBJECT: Unauthorized Reproduction, Use and Wearing of Improvised Office Identification Card

Pursuant thereto, all lower court officials and employees are hereby reminded to refrain from the reproduction, use and wearing of identification cards other than those duly issued by the Office of the Court Administrator.
