DC COURTS

The District of Columbia Courts require services for the accurate transcription of court hearings, which are either recorded on tape or documented in real time by court reporters using stenotype machines. Attorneys may request copies or originals of these transcripts from the court clerk or court reporter, and the cost of transcription varies depending on the complexity and length of the hearing. The fees charged for producing deposition transcripts are governed by the court’s official fee schedule, which must be provided along with each transcript request submitted through the PAST system. These services ensure the integrity and accessibility of legal records, and the responsibility for managing transcription requests and associated fees falls under the jurisdiction of the District of Columbia’s court system, overseen by the Office of the Attorney General.
