Registration for the online mandated reporter class is through the Human Services Learning Center (HSLC). You will need a HSLC account to register and to view the online mandated reporter class.

Certain types of hearings are not reported by a court reporter, but rather with an electronic recording device. These hearings include traffic and certain misdemeanor calendars. Small claims hearings are not reported.
Generally, the court will not provide court reporters for the following types of proceedings: case management and status conferences; ex parte applications or hearings; orders to show cause; infractions and small claims. Court reporters may be used in such proceedings at the requesting parties' expense.
There are two kinds of court records that reflect the actions taken in a particular case. The first is the court docket, also known as the register of actions. The register of actions is continually updated to reflect the parties and attorneys involved, new filed documents, appearance dates, and the actions that were taken in court hearings or alternative dispute resolution proceedings. Copies of the register of actions can be requested from the Court Records department for $0.50 per page.
The second kind of court record is a transcript of court proceedings. Transcripts are verbatim records of everything said by the judge, attorneys, witnesses and others during a court hearing or trial. Court reporters are responsible for preparing transcripts of hearings as required by law or upon request. Except for those transcripts prepared for the court for certain criminal matters, all other parties requesting transcripts are required to pay reporters for preparation of transcripts at the rate prescribed by law. The rates that reporters may charge for transcripts, as well as other information about reporter transcripts, are contained in the Government Code, starting at section 69950. Requirements for the format of transcripts are set forth in California Rule of Court section 8.144.
If the name of the court reporter is not listed above, contact the Court Reporter Coordinator by email or by phone (415) 444-7060 for assistance. Transcripts from non-staff court reporters may be requested by writing to the court Reporter Coordinator. The Coordinator will forward the request to the pro tem reporter. Please provide the following information:
Infractions, limited jurisdiction civil and certain misdemeanor hearings may be electronically recorded. An audio CD or a written transcript of the electronic recording may be available from the court.
To get a written transcript of an electronically recorded hearing, please submit your request to eScribers at =MC. You will be requested to fill out an online transcript order form. eScribers will contact the court to obtain the electronic recording and will prepare the transcript for you.
The duty of the Official Court Reporters Office is to record certain court proceedings verbatim either through the taking of stenographic notes or by an electronic recording system approved by the Illinois Supreme Court.

The Office of Official Court Reporters employs 172 court reporters and 20 digital recording court specialists.
*Copy rates apply when a copy of a transcript is ordered within seven (7) days of the original transcript being produced. If a transcript is ordered after seven days of the original being produced, original transcript rates apply.
* Copies for indigent defendants are provided free of charge (included in the $4.00 page rate). The same transcript required to be filed later for subsequent appeal(s) may be charged at the copy rate.
Any nurse working with children and/or dependent adults is a mandatory reporter. It is important to note that "working with" does not always mean hands on nursing care." This may mean observation or treatment of a child or dependent adult. Nurses providing care to dependent adults or children in Iowa must take a mandatory reporter course.

You may request copies by mail or in person at the Archived Records office during business hours.
