California courts have widespread ability to create official verbatim records using electronic recording equipment when no court reporter is available. A state statute prohibits this in family, probate, and most civil cases. This will be the first time the high court has had the opportunity to address the constitutionality of this statute.

Family Violence Appellate Project, represented by Covington & Burling LLP and Community Legal Aid SoCal, and Bay Area Legal Aid, representing itself, have filed a lawsuit to resolve the constitutional crisis caused by the statewide court reporter shortage. On June 3 at 9:00 a.m., our case will be heard.
