ARLJ 13
   LIMITED JURISDICTION COURTS ARE REQUIRED TO RECORD ALL
                 PROCEEDINGS ELECTRONICALLY


  a) Generally.  All limited jurisdiction courts shall make
     an electronic record of all proceedings and retain the
     record for at least as long as the record retention schedule
     dictates.

  b) Nonelectronic Record in Emergency.  In the event of an
     equipment failure or other situation making an electronic
     recording impossible, the court may order the proceeding to
     be recorded by nonelectronic means.  The nonelectronic
     record must be made at the court’s expense, and in the event
     of an appeal, any necessary transcription of the
     nonelectronic record must be made at the court’s expense.
