Certification of a partial transcript (CA)

[Shanna Gray]

I've been asked to certify a part of the transcript. I looked in the codes, and I see that that's perfectly fine, but does one do anything special to denote that it is partial? For instance do you note that on the transcript cover and/or the reporter's cert?

Oooh! Thanks so much! I already turned it in. I'll definitely use this for anything like this in the future. I knew you'd have some great info. Thanks, Kelli!

Yeah, you would put that on the caption page. 

                                  EXCERPT FROM THE DEPOSITION OF JANE DOE

                                                            FEBRUARY 20, 2012

And then I would put *     *     *     * on the first line of the page where you start the partiial to show that it's just a section of the transcript.  I would do that at the end of the partial as well to show it's just a section of the entire transcript.

I don't know if you've edited the transcript yet, but if you have, then I'd have the first page be whatever that section started on, like 53 so it's obvious this part of the transcript started in the middle of the job.  I hope that makes sense.

There are a ton of ways to phrase it.  This is just one example.
