For Hearings With A Court Reporter
A transcript of court proceedings is a verbatim record of everything said by the judge, attorneys, witnesses and others during a court hearing or trial. If a hearing or trial was reported by a court reporter, that court reporter is responsible for preparing a transcript of the hearing as required by law or upon request. Except for those transcripts prepared for the court for certain criminal matters, all other parties requesting transcripts are required to pay reporters for the preparation of transcripts at the rate prescribed by law.
To request a transcript from a court reporter, follow the steps below:
1. Complete the Transcript Request Form
2. Email form to the Court Reporter (see contact list below)
3. Wait for a response from the Court Reporter regarding next steps
Alternatively, you can verbally submit your request by leaving a voicemail for the Court Reporter stating the following:
1. Case Name and Case Number
2. Hearing Date, Time and Judicial Officer
3. Your contact information including your name, address, email address and daytime telephone number.
All of the information requested on the Transcript Request Form is available in the court file. You can contact the appropriate Clerk's Office for the information or to review the file.
Please note: Request for transcripts of confidential hearings, require a signed order of the Court, using Local Form RP-002.
