Court transcripts
Are not all court proceedings suppose to be recorded verbatim? Understanding that there are some that are confidential, and not available to the public.

Not all are transcribed, not all are recorded, not all are public.

Re: Court transcripts
Family law court transcribes all their hearings. In criminal court, you are only entitled to a court reporter in the felony division. In misdemeanors, you will usually not have a court reporter unless you request one, and even then you are not always going to get one. In civil court, you have to pay for a court reporter for trial.
