Responding to a decades-long lack of court reporters, the Los Angeles Superior Court in September 2024 ordered that electronic recordings may be made. This arguably violates a statute prohibiting the use of electronic recordings. But Erin Smith, co-founder of the Family Violence Appellate Project, explains why the lack of meaningful access to an appellate record is a constitutional crisis. She explains how the General Order is carefully drawn to avoid any prejudice to the interests of the court-reporters association while providing opportunity to create the all-important appellate record.
