Transcripts for Appeals

Prior to filing, check the local rules or ask the court clerk if a transcript is required for your appeal.  If a transcript is required, it is the responsibility of the appellant to order the recordings and CD of the proceedings from the previous court to be delivered to a certified transcriber. Check with the court clerk to see if arrangements for transcripts can be made through the court.

Cost Bond

If you are posting a supersedeas bond, you do not have to post a cost bond.  This is money that is set aside to reimburse the others if you lose your appeal.  If you are unable to pay the cost bond, you can file a waiver to waive or reduce the costs involved.

Cost bonds DO NOT apply to Orders of Protection and Injunctions Against Harassment.
