How do I handle expenditures or expenses on behalf of my client (e.g., cost for experts, transcripts, etc.)?

Rule 1:13-2(b) provides in relevant part that “no attorney assigned to represent a person by reason of poverty… shall be required to expend any personal funds in the prosecution of the cause.” Several cases have discussed the payment of litigation related expenses where the litigant is indigent. See In the Matter of Cannady, 126 N.J. 486 (1991) (regarding payment for ancillary defense costs in criminal matters). Rule 2:5-3(d) provides in relevant part that “if the appellant is indigent and is entitled to have a transcript of the proceedings below furnished without charge for use on appeal, either the trial or the appellate court, on application, may order the transcript prepared at public expense.”
