Recordings of the Proceedings
[Sup. R. 11]
LOCAL RULE 11.1. Recordings of Proceedings
The Court shall make an audio recording of proceedings before the Court that shall serve as the record of the Court unless said recording is waived by all interested parties present at the proceeding. Parties or other interested persons who desire to have the recording of the proceeding transcribed shall request the transcript from a stenographer approved by the Court. The requesting party shall pay the full cost of the transcript upon completion. The Court will allow a party or interested person to listen to a recording of a proceeding upon request made no less than twenty-four (24) hours in advance. Tapes of proceedings shall not be removed from the Court, unless the person requesting use of the tape is a Common Pleas Court stenographer. Tapes shall be maintained by the Court for three (3) years from the date of hearing.
LOCAL RULE 11.2. Stenographic Transcription
Parties who desire to have a contemporaneous stenographic record of the proceedings must make their own arrangements at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled hearing, for a court reporter to appear at the hearing. The requesting party shall pay the costs associated with the stenographic record unless otherwise ordered by the Court. A transcript filed with the Court shall supersede the audio recording as the official record of the Court.
LOCAL RULE 11.3. Use of Contents of Recordings
An interested party shall not be allowed to use the contents of a recording in subsequent pleadings or in argument before the Court unless a transcript of the entire hearing is filed with the Court.
