by a court-approved transcriber from materials provided to that transcriber by the court. When a
Transcript Order Form is received, the Court will forward the hearing information to the Transcription Service
Provider you designate on the Transcript Order Form. The Transcription Service Provider will contact you
regarding receipt of the transcript. Thereafter, contact the Transcription Service Provider directly if you have
questions regarding your transcript order. Transcripts cannot be picked up at the Court. For more information,

COPIES OF TRANSCRIPTS
Once the Transcript Order Form requesting a transcript of a hearing is entered on the related case docket, a
Transcription Service Provider is designated and materials for transcription are sent by the Court to the
designated Transcription Service Provider. If more than one party files a Transcript Order Form for the same
hearing, the first Transcript Order Form on the docket takes precedence. All other parties that wish to obtain a
transcript of the same hearing are to contact the Transcription Service Provider designated on the case docket.

the filed date as set forth in the Guide to Judiciary Policy Vol. 6, §510.25.10
. During the 90-day restriction
period, the transcript may be viewed at the Clerk’s Office on a public computer terminal or a copy purchased
from the designated Transcription Service Provider that created the original transcript. For more information
