Calendars
Effective July 1, 2025, the Alcovy Circuit Superior Court Judges (Newton and Walton Counties) will no longer have a court reporter present for civil calendars. Anyone desiring to have a civil matter taken down will be responsible for contacting the court reporter and making arrangements. There is a statutory per diem fee of $190.08 for 8 hours, which must be paid to the court reporter, as well as the actual cost of take-down. The per diem fee is divided among the number of cases for which take-down has been requested on any given day.
Requests for a court reporter must be made 48 hours in advance; requests for a Monday calendar must be made by the preceding Friday. Cancellations must be made at least 48 hours in advance; cancellations for a Monday calendar must be made by the preceding Friday. Failure to cancel on time may result in a cancellation fee of $100.00 if no other parties on the calendar have made arrangements for the court reporter’s presence.
