Order Transcripts or Audio
The Twelfth Judicial Circuit uses a hybrid model for its court reporting services, comprised of the Official Court Reporters (OCR) and Digital Court Recording (DCR). Each method provides a verbatim record of court proceedings that require the record to be made at public expense.
Most proceedings are public record and are available to anyone wishing to obtain a transcript or audio (depending on which department made the record), regardless of their involvement in the case. If you want to order a court record, you will need to provide the case number, specific date(s) of proceeding, and name of judge.
Transcript: the written verbatim record of a court proceeding Electronic Recording: audio recording of the verbatim record captured by the court’s digital court recording equipment
OCR is used only in circuit criminal cases (felonies), for all trials, all hearings in capital cases (pretrial, trial, and post-conviction), and, when available, hearings that are requested by the presiding judge to be covered by OCR
The reporter’s software instantly translates the court reporter’s shorthand and displays rough-draft transcripts contemporaneously on the judge’s computer.
All proceedings required to be reported at public expense (see list), and felony trials when not reported by OCR. DCR also records grand jury proceedings.
