Q1: You can answer that question better than anyone. You were there. Did you see a court reporter? Some judges have a court reported for everything that happens in open court. Some judges have a court reporter for only certain hearings. And some judges rarely use a court reporter for anything. However, the Defendant always has the right to ask that a court reporter be present and recording for his hearing.
Q2: If there is a transcript of the hearing, you get a copy of it by going to the court reporter. You tell her that you want a transcript. She will estimate how many pages it is and require you to pay a deposit for the transcript.
