Anyone know how to go about getting trail / court transcripts? In particular I am looking for Fulton county Georgia, Illinois, and Florida

Getting Court transcripts is relatively simple, but it takes time, and there is a cost involved.

If you're looking for the Court DOCUMENTS that have been filed in the case, you'll need to contact the Clerk of the Court where the trial was held. They will advise you of the "per-page" cost. (usually 25 cents per page in Georgia, plus an administrative fee for pulling the file)

The transcript is another matter. This is the WRITTEN record of the Court proceedings, and can be several hundred pages long, after it is transcribed. Generally, the "transcript" is not PRINTED until you request it from the COURT REPORTER who did the "take down" during the trial. You'll have to ask the Clerk of the Court who the Judge was, and who their Court Reporter is. Then, contact that Court Reporter, and inquire as to the estimated length and cost of obtaining a Court Transcript. This could end up costing several hundred dollars.
