If the witness's attorney ordered a copy of the transcript, what should the court reporter do?

The appropriate action for the court reporter, in this case, is to furnish the attorney with a blank copy of the errata sheet. The errata sheet is a mechanism for the witness to note any corrections or revisions to their testimony after the transcript has been produced. This is an essential part of maintaining the accuracy and integrity of the record, allowing the witness to clarify any statements made during their testimony.

Providing an errata sheet allows the attorney to facilitate the process of reviewing the transcript and making necessary corrections before the transcript is finalized. This shows adherence to the ethical standards for accuracy in reporting and ensures that all parties have access to the most accurate account of the proceedings.

Other options, such as delivering the original transcript immediately or providing an unedited version, do not address the need for corrections and would not align with the standard practice of ensuring accuracy and completeness in legal transcripts. Notifying the court of the request is also not a necessary action in this scenario, as it is the responsibility of the court reporter to manage the transcript directly with the requesting attorney.
