How does the Court Reporter send a copy of the statement of facts to the defense attorney?

By email
By courier
In duplicate
Via registered mail

The correct answer is: In duplicate

The correct answer pertains to the protocol court reporters typically follow when providing copies of the statement of facts to parties involved in a legal proceeding. Sending the statement of facts in duplicate ensures that both the court and the defense attorney receive an accurate and authenticated copy of the record. This method serves as a precautionary measure, allowing the defense attorney to have the necessary documentation for their review while also maintaining a consistent record for court purposes. In legal contexts, it is vital that both parties have access to the same information to ensure a fair trial. The practice of sending in duplicate helps safeguard against any discrepancies that may arise if only one copy exists. While methods like email, courier services, or registered mail each have their advantages, they do not provide the inherent assurance of having a duplicate for verification purposes, which is essential in maintaining the integrity of legal documents.
