In criminal cases, court reporters must retain notes and recordings indefinitely, unless the record is fully transcribed, in which case they must retain them for two years after transcription. In civil cases, court reporters must retain notes and recordings for five years after the end of the trial, or two years after they retire or leave the court's employ, whichever is longer.
