Court Transcript Request {10504}

CN 10504 - COURT TRANSCRIPT REQUEST. This form is used to order transcripts, which are verbatim records of court proceedings, for either appeal or non-appeal purposes. Transcripts are the written record of exactly what was said during court. Judges review transcripts to know what has occurred previously and to assist in making a decision on the case. There are two types of transcripts: appeal and non-appeal. The simple difference is appeal transcripts are usually mandatory and are ordered during the appeal process. You cannot order appeal transcripts if you do not have an appeal pending with the Appellate Court. Non-appeal transcripts are used for reasons other than an appeal or to review your matter prior to appealing. Non-Appeal transcripts can be used in your appeal later as long as they are the complete record for that date (not an excerpt) and were completed by a certified transcriber. For Appeal cases, the party who is filing the appeal (or cross-appeal) is responsible for finding out the transcript dates needed for their case and ordering them. Failure to order or submit transcript(s) can result in the dismissal of your appeal. If you previously ordered complete and certified transcript dates for other uses, they can be uploaded into your case without repurchasing. Transcripts are the only record that is admissible in court. The form outlines different processes for ordering transcripts, depending on whether a party is represented by an attorney or self-represented. Self-represented litigants must submit a paper form, while attorneys use an online system (eCourts Appellate). Additionally, the form includes a cost estimation chart for transcripts. The fees depend on the duration of the court proceeding and the type of service (standard, expedited, or daily). The rates are calculated per page, and while some services offer additional copies, they are no longer required per rule changes. www.FormsWorkflow.com
