I checked the invoices from my last trial in Maricopa County Superior Court. Transcript fees were paid to the court reporters personally. Charges were $8 per page (!) for daily transcript originals, $4 per page for "expedited" transcript copies (meaning the "originals" had already been ordered by our opposing counsel), and $4 per page for "take your time" originals (which took 6 weeks for the full transcript of a 9-day trial, some of which had already been transcribed during the trial on a "daily" or "expedited" basis). So $1 per page is apparently a steal.
I was pretty shocked. Normally I never see these invoices--they go straight to my paralegal and our managing partner cuts the checks.
No. She has not ruled on prosecutorial misconduct, and no one has asked her to rule whether there was kiddie




.
I'm not sure I understand the question, but if JSS wasn't sitting in that chair another judge would be sitting there and everything would continue on.
Probably faster.
