Transcripts of Court Proceedings
Transcripts of court proceedings are filed in electronic form. Transcripts are available for viewing in the clerk's office, but may NOT be printed, copied or reproduced within the first 90 days after filing. During this time, transcripts must be purchased from the court reporter. Please call (608) 264-5936 to purchase a transcript.
Please Note: When a party requests that any portion of a transcript be sealed, that party is responsible for preparing a redacted version and sending to the court reporter for docketing. Redacted transcripts become part of the public record 90 days after filing. Please review the court's policy on electronic transcripts of court proceedings here.
For more information, please contact the clerk's office at (608) 264-5156.
