Rule 20-2 Transcript Cost

Article 20. Motions for New Trial

Except where leave to proceed in forma pauperis (i.e., as an indigent party) has been granted by the Court, an attorney who files a motion for a new trial or a notice of appeal specifying that the transcript of evidence or hearing shall be included in the record shall be personally responsible for compensating the court reporter for the cost of transcription. The filing of such motion or notice of appeal shall constitute a certification by the attorney that the transcript has been ordered from the court reporter. The filing of such motion or notice of appeal prior to ordering the transcript from the reporter may subject the attorney to disciplinary action by the Court.
