Appellate Delay: the Transcript Preparation Factor The Honorable Mark V. Green, Massachusetts Appeals Court, will describe the methods by which trial transcripts are prepared for purposes of an appeal, and of the efforts currently underway to improve the process. He will begin with a brief review of the 2003 report of the SJC Study Committee on Trial Transcripts and its recommendations, and will describe the steps that have been taken on those recommendations in the five years since. He will also describe plans for further steps in the immediate future, with particular emphasis on the persistent problem of timeliness of transcripts in the Superior Court. |
