Art. 777 Recordation of proceedings

Every part of your trial gets written down and kept as an official record. This includes testimony, arguments, and other proceedings that happen in the courtroom during your case.

Having this record matters because it creates a paper trail of exactly what happened during the trial. If someone wants to appeal the case later, or if there's a dispute about what a witness said or what the judge ruled, this record can be checked to see what actually occurred. The specific rules about how this recording gets done, who's responsible for it, and what format it takes are found in other parts of the law.
