The record is the case. Judges rule on it, appellate courts review it, and briefs cite it page and line. Access Transcripts turns California court audio into that record: certified, verbatim transcripts prepared by AAERT-credentialed professionals and delivered on deadlines from same day to 30 days, for clients in Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, and statewide.
Federal proceedings in California run through the Northern, Eastern, Central, Southern Districts of California. Like federal courts everywhere, they record hearings digitally and route transcript production through approved transcribers, a list we are on in more than 30 bankruptcy courts around the country.

What to know about California transcript work
California's four federal districts include some of the busiest dockets in the country, and court reporter shortages in state courts have pushed more proceedings onto electronic recording.
Access Transcripts is an approved vendor in multiple U.S. District Courts, including districts in California.
