“Upon the request of any party to any proceeding which has been so recorded who has agreed to pay the fee therefor, or of a judge of the court, the reporter or other individual designated to produce the record shall promptly transcribe the original records of the requested parts of the proceedings and attach to the transcript his official certificate, and deliver the same to the party or judge making the request.” (28 U.S.C. § 753(b))
The Eastern District of Wisconsin Bankruptcy Court employs two methods of recording proceedings: court reporters and electronic sound recording. Below are instructions for obtaining transcripts based on the method used to record the proceeding. For either method you will need to supply the case number, case name, proceeding date, and name of the judge. If at any time you have questions concerning obtaining a transcript, please contact the Clerk’s Office through our website by selecting the “contact us” tab and sending an email inquiry or by telephone at (414) 290-2700.
Transcripts are not available for a section 341 meeting of creditors, but recordings of the hearings are available from the U.S. Trustee’s Office. Please contact the U.S. Trustee's Office at 414-297-4476, if you would like a copy of a section 341 meeting of creditors recording.
Electronic Sound Recording
If electronic sound recording was used to record the hearing, contact a transcription service provider to order the transcript. You can place your order via their websites or by telephone. Financial arrangements should be made directly with the transcription service provider. Upon receipt of your order, the transcription service provider will contact the Clerk’s Office to obtain the appropriate audio files. Below is the contact information for the approved transcription service providers.
