Which version of the transcript is referred to as the expedited version?

  1. Final

  2. Preliminary

  3. Rough

  4. Updated

The correct answer is: Final

The expedited version of a transcript is known as the preliminary version. This is because a preliminary transcript is typically produced quickly after a court proceeding to provide an early and informal account of what transpired, allowing parties to review the content without having to wait for the finalized version. The final transcript, on the other hand, is the official, polished document that incorporates any corrections made after the preliminary version has been reviewed. The rough version is a more unrefined transcript that may contain errors and inconsistencies but is provided for immediate reference. The updated version usually refers to revisions made to any previously issued transcript based on new findings or additional information. Understanding the different types of transcripts is crucial for anyone involved in legal proceedings, as they serve varying purposes depending on the urgency and accuracy needed for the situation.
