Writ petition advances to require electronic recording of some court proceedings for indigent litigants
The Supreme Court today said it would decide the merits of Family Violence Appellate Project v. Superior Courts, a writ petition seeking to add an exception to Government Code section 69957(a), which prohibits in most cases the “use [of] electronic recording technology or equipment . . . to make the official record of an action or proceeding.” The statute allows possible electronic recording only “in a limited civil case, or a misdemeanor or infraction case.”
