ATTORNEYS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO SEND YOU A SEPARATE COPY OF THE

TRANSCRIPT. THE ATTORNEY WILL NEED THE TRANSCRIPT TO REPRESENT YOU

PROPERLY. IT IS UP TO YOU AND YOUR ATTORNEY TO DECIDE WHEN YOU CAN HAVE

ACCESS TO THE TRANSCRIPT.

When new counsel is appointed to your case, or you are waiting for counsel to be appointed

to your case, please be advised that the first attorney is responsible for transferring the file

and the transcript to the next attorney. Private Counsel will order the transcript. Court-

appointed and Public Defenders will receive a free copy of the transcript.

Private attorneys who have not been paid by you are NOT required to give you the

transcript.

IF YOU HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED A COPY OF YOUR NOTES OF TESTIMONY, A

SECOND COPY WILL NOT BE SENT FREE OF CHARGE.

If you want to pay for an additional copy, send the attached form to the above address.

Or, you may make a copy of the transcript in the Quarter Sessions file, Second

Floor, 1301 Filbert Street. This must be done in person, not by mail or fax.

If you are representing yourself without a lawyer (pro se or in forma pauperis), fill out the

attached form and attach a COURT ORDER signed by the JUDGE.

ONLY ORDERS SIGNED BY A JUDGE ALLOWING YOU TO PROCEED PRO SE OR IN

FORMA PAUPERIS WILL BE PROCESSED.

NO ACTION will be taken by this office without a signed Order and a completed form.

The Request to Proceed in forma pauperis form or pro se documentation is NOT a
