Rule L5000.7. Fees for Transcripts.

(a) The typing of transcripts and payment under provisions of this rule are not automatic. All transcripts must be ordered pursuant to the Uniform Rules Governing Court Reporting and Transcripts Adopted by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court (RJA 5000.1 et seq.) (b) These local rules are intended to cover matters not covered by the Pennsylvania Uniform Rules Governing Court Reporting and Transcripts. (c) In criminal cases where the defendant is represented by private counsel and in all civil cases except where a party has been permitted to proceed informa pauperis, the court reporters may charge, and a party requesting a transcript or copies shall pay, $2.15 per page for the original which shall be filed with the Clerk of Courts or Prothonotary, as the case may be, and $1.10 per page for any copy. (d) Court reporters may require a deposit up to one-half of the estimated charge for any transcript or copies as a condition precedent to starting transcription. Court reporters are not required to file the original transcript and furnish copies until receipt of payment in full. (e) These rates shall not apply to any transcripts produced on an accelerated schedule, i.e., daily copy, overnight or expedited transcripts.
