As per your concerned matter, let me inform you that in litigation, a paper copy of a document filed with the court that the filing party sends directly to the judge's chambers is known as a courtesy copy.
Counsel typically must stamp the words "Courtesy Copy" on the face of each document sent to chambers.
Attorneys also use the term courtesy copy when they send copies of court-filed documents to the other parties in the case in addition to the actual service copy.

Moreover, Courtesy Copy are often referred to as Judge's Copy, or Chambers Copy, this is an exact copy of the filed document that is to be physically delivered to the same courthouse into which it was filed. This process can also be referred to as "lodging" documents with the court.

You can get a format for the same by paying a subscripttion amount to legal websites (law firm portals) available.
