Local Rule 5076-1: COURT RECORDING SYSTEM
Bankr. W.D. Tenn. — General rule
TNWB LBR 5076-1 COURT RECORDING SYSTEM
(a) Official Record. The Court has adopted an electronic sound recording system as the official record of hearings. Unless the court orders otherwise, deputy clerks known as "Electronic Court Recorder Operators" will make the official recording of all hearings.
(b) Courtroom Decorum. The production of an acceptable record of a hearing requires discipline and order in the courtroom. Extraneous noise, unnecessary interruptions of witnesses or attorneys, and low or mumbled speech may make production of a quality recording and transcript more difficult. To assure the quality of the audio recording, all persons are requested to speak clearly into a courtroom microphone and not to interrupt other attorneys, witnesses, or the court.
(c) Appearances. In order to create an accurate record, every attorney must state his/her name, the name of his law firm, the name of his/her client, and the case or proceeding number in which he/she is interested at the beginning of each announcement or hearing.
