What additional items complete the transcript?

The completion of a transcript is typically defined by a comprehensive representation of the proceedings, ensuring that all relevant and necessary documentation is included for a legal record. The inclusion of all exhibits marked by the court reporter is essential because exhibits serve as critical evidence or context during the court proceedings. These items provide the necessary visual or additional context that complements the spoken words in the transcript. Without these exhibits, the transcript would be incomplete, lacking important components that may be referenced during appeals or future legal proceedings.

The other options, while potentially relevant to the process or context of the case, do not constitute essential components of the official court transcript itself. Witness statements, statements from the judge, and notes from the court clerk may provide useful context or information; however, they are not structured as part of the transcript that is recorded verbatim and submitted as the judicial record. Thus, the inclusion of marked exhibits is the most critical factor in ensuring the transcript is complete and reflective of all materials integral to the case.
