legal transcripts
Official courtroom documentation
Legal transcripts are official written records of spoken proceedings in courts, depositions, hearings, or other legal settings.
A court reporter or transcriptionist captures every word verbatim, producing a document that serves as the authoritative account of what was said.
Attorneys use transcripts to prepare appeals, review testimony, or refresh witnesses' memories: The transcript shows the defendant never mentioned the contract.
Transcripts carry evidentiary weight precisely because of their completeness and accuracy.
