What does rule 205 mandate regarding the original transcript?

It must be filed immediately
It must be submitted to the witness' attorney
It must be kept confidential
It must be reviewed by the judge

The correct answer is: It must be submitted to the witness' attorney

Rule 205 mandates that the original transcript must be submitted to the witness' attorney. This is an important requirement because it ensures that the attorney has access to the official record of the proceedings in which their client (the witness) has participated. Providing the transcript allows the attorney to properly prepare for any necessary follow-up, including potential further questioning or proceedings. This requirement also underscores the importance of maintaining a clear and accurate record of testimony, which is essential for the integrity of the legal process. Without access to the original transcript, the attorney would be at a disadvantage in understanding context and content presented during the proceedings. While other options present actions that might be relevant in different contexts, they do not align with the specific requirements set forth in Rule 205 regarding the handling of the original transcript. For example, filing timelines, confidentiality concerns, and the judge's review process may involve separate rules or procedures not specifically addressed by Rule 205.
