  1. In federal court transcription standards, what is the required format for page and line numbering?

    Answer: Line numbers 1–25 per page, resetting on each new page

    Federal court transcripts use 25 lines per page with line numbers resetting on each new page, per Judicial Conference guidelines.

  2. A quality assurance reviewer finds that a transcript repeatedly misspells a medical expert's name. This type of error is best prevented by:

    Answer: Researching and confirming witness name spellings before beginning transcription

    Pre-transcription research on witness names prevents systematic spelling errors throughout the document.

  3. When transcribing exhibits referenced during a proceeding, the transcriptionist should:

    Answer: Note each exhibit number and description at the point it is referenced in the testimony

    Noting exhibits at the point of reference in the transcript creates an accurate synchronized record of when each exhibit was introduced.

  4. Which action violates a legal transcriptionist's professional confidentiality obligations?

    Answer: Mentioning case details from a transcript to a friend in casual conversation

    Disclosing case details to unauthorized individuals, even casually, breaches confidentiality obligations.

  5. A transcript marked 'CONFIDENTIAL — ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY' should be:

    Answer: Restricted to the designated attorneys and not shared more broadly

    Attorneys' Eyes Only designations limit distribution strictly to specified counsel.

  6. What is the correct way to handle overlapping speech in a legal transcript?

    Answer: Indicate the overlap with a notation such as '[SIMULTANEOUS SPEECH]' and transcribe what is audible

    Notating simultaneous speech and capturing what is audible accurately reflects the interaction on the record.

  7. Compliance with state-specific transcript formatting rules is the responsibility of:

    Answer: The transcriptionist, who must know and apply the rules of the relevant jurisdiction

    The transcriptionist is professionally responsible for applying the formatting standards of the jurisdiction in which the proceeding occurs.
