An attorney and counselor at law may temporarily withdraw and transport to the attorney's office at the attorney's expense, for purposes of inspection or copying, any file which is open to public inspection in the offices of the clerks of court. Any such file shall be returned if needed and requested by the court or the clerk thereof. This authorization may be suspended, in regard to any individual attorney, by the presiding judge for good cause or for previous failure to comply with the provisions of this section.
