How are transcripts delivered to ordering parties?

The appropriate method of delivering transcripts to ordering parties is to provide them all at the same time, ensuring that each party receives their transcript in a coordinated manner. This approach is particularly important for maintaining consistency and fairness among all parties involved, as it prevents any one party from gaining an advantage by receiving their transcript earlier than others. Delivering transcripts collectively also helps streamline the process and reduces the likelihood of confusion or discrepancies that could arise from staggered deliveries.

Other delivery methods, such as fulfilling orders individually or based on request priority, can lead to logistical complications and inequitable treatment. Additionally, holding delivery until full payment is received can delay access to vital information, potentially hindering the proceedings or the parties' ability to prepare effectively. These alternatives lack the fairness and clarity offered by simultaneous delivery, which is why it's considered best practice in the context of court reporting ethics and professionalism.
