Transcripts for Appeals
Prior to filing, check the local rules or ask the court clerk if a transcript is required for your appeal. If a transcript is required, it is the responsibility of the appellant to order the recordings and CD of the proceedings from the previous court to be delivered to a certified transcriber. Check with the court clerk to see if arrangements for transcripts can be made through the court.
