Q: Submitting audio for civil harassment case
How do I submit audio for a civil harassment case on my court date? The paperwork the court gave me is confusing. Can it be transcribed and printed or does it need to be hand written? I have a 30 minute audio message I need to submit on my court date and I do not want that person to have access to my laptop in any way but the paperwork says I must bring my laptop and allow them to listen to it on my laptop if I am submitting it on a CD. The paperwork also says the other method of submission is to “write out” on a piece of paper whats said in the message.

A:
To submit audio for a civil harassment case, you should contact the court clerk's office for specific instructions on how to submit the audio. The instructions provided by the court may vary by jurisdiction, so it's important to follow the guidelines provided by the court.
In some cases, you may be able to transcribe the audio message and submit it in written form. However, if the court requires the audio to be submitted on a CD, you may need to comply with this requirement.
If you're concerned about allowing the other party access to your laptop, you may be able to request that the audio be played on a court-provided computer instead. You should check with the court clerk's office to see if this is an option.
