Why is a transcript available to anyone who wants to view it at the Office of the Clerk, even in the first seven days after the transcript is filed? I thought parties had seven days to examine a transcript and file a Statement of Intent to Redact?

Answer:

The Judicial Conference has determined that transcripts must be available in the Office of the Clerk from their original filing. After a transcript has been redacted, the Clerk will seal the original, unredacted transcript. As with any other document, a party can always ask the Court to seal a transcript.

The court's transcript policy and procedure is available at:
