courtroom transcripts
Legal proceeding records
Courtroom transcripts are the official written record of everything said during legal proceedings—testimony, arguments, rulings, objections.
A court reporter types or stenographs every spoken word, producing a verbatim document that becomes part of the case record.
Transcripts are essential for appeals, where higher courts review what actually happened: The transcript showed the judge had excluded key evidence.
