Rule 228 Recording of Proceedings Before Investigating Grand Jury

All grand jury proceedings must be recorded by a stenographer, and those recordings must be turned into a written transcript. This applies to everything that happens during the proceedings except for when the grand jury privately discusses and votes on a case.

The private deliberations and votes of the grand jury members are kept secret and are not recorded. Everything else that takes place, such as witness testimony and attorney presentations, becomes part of the official record.
