Sale of Transcripts by District of Columbia Court Reporters

Questions were asked in connection with a proposed subgrant to the Superior Court of the District of Columbia for a computer-aided transcription system. The D.C. Code permits court reporters to collect fees from litigants for transcript sales if reporters furnish all supplies at their own expense. This precludes the reporters from retaining fees for transcripts produced through a system financed by Federal grant funds or District of Columbia appropriations.
