Digital Recording in Brevard Courts

Public Access to Digitally Recorded Court Proceedings

 

The general public may have access to digitally recorded court proceedings, with the exception of those that are deemed confidential. Proceedings that are confidential in nature, such as Juvenile Dependency or Delinquency, may only be obtained with a signed court order.

 

Presently, there are two ways to receive a copy of digitally recorded court proceedings; a typed transcript or a CD containing the Audio/Video recording.  If you have requested a CD of the recording it will be reviewed for privileged communications.  If they are found to exist you will be contacted and explained the additional cost of purchasing an edited copy of the proceedings.
