Procedures for obtaining a transcript: To request a transcript of a court proceeding, parties must complete the Transcript Request Form. Parties with an CM/ECF account should file the form using the docket event “Request for Transcript.”  Parties without an ECF account can hand-deliver or mail the form to the court.  The court does not accept requests via fax, email, or telephone.

Transcript Processing:  The court does not transcribe court proceedings and does not make recommendations for court-approved transcript service providers.  Choose one of the providers found here and submit a Transcript Request Form to the court.  Once received, the court will forward the hearing information to the chosen provider.

To become a court-approved transcript service provider for the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Wisconsin, an Application for Certification as Court Approved Transcript Service Provider must be submitted to the court.

Transcript Cost:  The estimated cost of the transcript is based on the number of pages and how quickly you want the transcript. When a transcript is ordered, the first party to order it pays the original transcript rate, and subsequent requesters pay a copy rate (see Maximum Per Page Transcript Rates). Please note that realtime reporting is not offered by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Wisconsin.

This is only an estimate.  The actual cost will be determined by the transcript service provider.  The requestor will pay all fees directly to the transcript service provider before the transcript is released unless other arrangements are made PRIOR to the production of the transcript. When a transcript request is filed, all parties who attended the hearing are solely responsible for redaction of the information described in FRBP 9037(a).  Redaction is accomplished only with input from the parties who attended the hearing.  Transcript service providers are not responsible for identifying a need for redaction or for redacting the transcripts absent a request by any party.

For Appeal Purposes:  Within the time prescribed in FRBP 8009(a)(1), the appellant must submit a Transcript Order Form to the Bankruptcy Clerk or a certificate stating that the appellant is not ordering a transcript.

For 341 Meetings Transcripts:  You must contact the Office of the U.S. Trustee (608) 264-5522
