The Supreme Court of Georgia, the Court of Appeals of Georgia, the Board of Court Reporting, and Georgia Courts Automation Commission seek to develop an electronic filing system that will enable Georgia Court Reporters to file electronic transcripts into the Georgia trial and appellate courts. The goal is to put in place a simple system that requires minimum development and minimum impact on current court reporting practices and procedures.
To facilitate electronic submission of transcript, in June 2001, the Judicial Council of Georgia approved rules that amended the Court Reporter’s Fee Schedule and that permit court reporters to file electronic transcripts into the courts on CD-ROM in Adobe PDF format.
The Court Reporter’s Fee Schedule as approved by the Judicial Council of Georgia states:
The rate to be paid to court reporters for copies of diskettes of any size, when ordered in conjunction with the transcript, shall be $30.00 for each ASCII diskette and $60.00 for each compact disc (CD). This shall only apply in cases where the court reporter has the capability and is willing to provide such service.
The Transcript Filename Convention (May 9th, 2002, Version 2.2) specifies a Transcript Filename Format for the names of transcript files saved on CD-ROM. The filename format is appropriate for use by trial and appellate courts.
