Designating the Record – California Appellate Courts
The agreement must be filed with the notice designating the record on appeal form.
What can the respondent do? All parties must agree to use the whole trial court file instead of a clerk’s transcript. If the appellant cannot get all parties to agree, then the court will not permit the appellant to use the whole trial court file.
How much does it cost? The appellant pays for the trial court clerk to prepare and send the whole trial court file to the Court of Appeal. The trial court clerk can provide an estimate for the deposit and fees.
How do the parties get a copy? The trial court clerk only sends a copy of the index (list) of documents to the appellant and other parties. If any party wants copies of documents that they do not already have, each party is responsible for making a list of documents and paying a fee to the court.
Learn more about the whole trial court file
 

How to include oral proceedings in the record on appeal
If the arguments in an appeal will refer to anything that was said in a trial or hearing, then the record on appeal needs to include oral proceedings.
If the case had oral proceedings and they are not included in the record on appeal, the Court of Appeal may not be able to consider the issues in the appeal that were discussed in oral proceedings. The Court of Appeal could still consider issues that are not related to oral proceedings.
Because every case is different, the parties can choose how to prepare a record of oral proceedings for the Court of Appeal.
Select a type of oral proceeding to learn more
You can also watch a video about what to do if you cannot get a reporter’s transcript and need an agreed or settled statement.

 Reporter’s Transcript What is it? A reporter’s transcript is a written record of the oral proceedings in the trial court. This exact word-for-word record of what was said is prepared by a court reporter who was in the trial or hearing. From the court’s perspective, a reporter’s transcript is the best type of oral proceeding.
What are the rules? An appellant can always designate a reporter’s transcript if a court reporter took notes during the trial. The appellant must decide what oral proceedings to include.
The 2024-25 Budget: Judicial Branch
the state would like to address more of the unmet need for legal
resources. Alternatively, if the Legislature decides to increase funding
for legal resources, it would likely have to come at the expense of
other state programs. Under this scenario, it would be equally important
that the funding is allocated strategically to ensure the state
maximizes the number of people receiving legal assistance or service
and/or the quality of the assistance or service provided. Moreover, if
the state’s budget situation deteriorates further or if there are more
pressing state priorities or needs, the state or other entities that
support legal resources (such as Legal Aid) might find it necessary to
reduce funding for legal resources now or in the future. To the extent
this occurs, strategically maximizing the allocation of the remaining
funding would be critical to limiting the impact of such funding
reductions.
 Recommendations
Direct Judicial Council to Convene Working Group to
Provide a Report Assessing Legal Resources. We recommend
the Legislature direct Judicial Council to convene a working group to
assess the legal resources available in the state. The working group
would consist of diverse representatives from the courts (such as judges
and self-help staff) and the legal service provider community to
represent the different ways in which legal services are provided as
well as the different legal resource needs across the state. The working
group would review all programs providing legal assistance or services
in the state—whether or not they receive state funding—and prepare a
report for the Legislature by January 1, 2027. This report would
identify what resources are being provided and by which providers, who
is eligible for the resources, how resources are provided, the costs of
providing such resources, what benefits are generated, and all funding
sources available to support such resources. This would provide a
comprehensive picture of how legal resources are currently being
provided. It would also provide information on where there may be gaps
in legal resources and where resources may need to be adjusted or
coordinated to prevent duplication.
Direct Working Group to Develop a Strategic Plan for
Legal Resource Funding. We recommend the Legislature also

Mantenga la calma y hable con respeto aunque se frustre o le interrumpan. Siempre que le hagan una pregunta, debe detener lo que está diciendo y responder lo más directamente posible. Si no sabe la respuesta, dígalo. Además, recuerde que no puede presentar nuevos argumentos oralmente a menos que los haya expuesto en su escrito.
