Can I get an audiorecording of my hearing instead of a transcript?
Yes. Fill out the Transcript Order form completely, but indicate “Cassette Only” in the REASON FOR TRANSCRIPT section at the top. The first tape is $25. Each tape thereafter for the same hearing is $10. We reformat our cassettes so that they play in any cassette player. Please note that unless a judge signs an order allowing it, an individual may not submit an audio tape in place of an official paper transcript. See Maine Rule of Civil Procedure 91 (f) (2) at: http://www.courts.state.me.us/court_info/rules/index.shtml. Unless a judge orders it or the court rules allow a different process, a paper transcript from any electronically recorded hearing must be ordered, paid for, and typed through the Office of Transcript Production.
