employees whose duty it is to prepare complaints shall have proper
accommodations and the necessary room or rooms separate from but
convenient to the room in which the court is held, and therein shall be
at all times conspicuously posted a notice legibly printed in English,

whom permission is refused to make and verify a complaint and who is
thereby aggrieved will be heard upon application to the judge in person
