§ 620 Reference by district or superior court - Report and transcript - Filing.

When a court sends a case to a referee to look into the facts and the law, the referee has a job to do afterward. The referee must write up what they found, including their conclusions about the facts and the legal issues involved.

The referee also has to turn in a full written transcript of any testimony that was given during the proceedings. Both the report and the transcript get filed with the court clerk, so they become part of the official case record. This way, the judge and everyone else involved can see exactly what the referee found and how they reached their conclusions.
