Official court reporters can be requested in unlimited civil matters, probate, and family law matters. The Stanislaus Superior Court provides electronic recording services in most contested misdemeanor proceedings. A party who has been granted a waiver of court fees and costs may request the services of an official court reporter for a proceeding for which an official reporter is not normally available and for which electronic recording is not provided. Such a request should be made by emailing ctreport@stanct.org. Requests should be made at least ten (10) days in advance of the hearing. Failure to comply with this request procedure may result in the court being unable to provide a court reporter or a continuance of the hearing. Parties to the case who do not qualify for a waiver of court fees and costs will be responsible for the cost of a reporter. Note: An approved fee waiver does not cover the cost of the reporter’s transcript of the hearing or proceeding. (See Jameson v. Desta (2018) 5 Cal.5th 594, 623-625.) However, assistance with this cost may be available through the Transcript Reimbursement Fund. Further information about this fund is available on the California Court Reporters Board's website.

Only one court reporter will be allowed per hearing; therefore, parties must check with the Supervising Court Reporter regarding the availability of a staff court reporter prior to engaging a pro tempore reporter.
