Quick question: during the 8:30 arraignment calendar, when counsel speak simultaneously, I tag the line as “[overlapping]” with a timestamp and ask for a restatement on the record. I reconcile in Case CATalyst using Luminex II audio but avoid retaining any off-the-record chatter; is there a more precise, accepted notation or workflow that preserves accuracy while protecting confidentiality on backups?
I swap “[overlapping]” for “[crosstalk: Atty/Def]” and drop a Case CATalyst AudioSync bookmark; if garbled, I request restatement.
I keep each speaker on its own line and drop “(simultaneous)” at the start of the overlap, then if one side is garbled I mark it “indiscernible [hh:mm:ss]” and ask for a quick restate — traffic‑cop moment. In Case CATalyst I set a brief to expand “ss” to “(simultaneous) [timestamp]” so it’s consistent and fast, and I note the judge’s “one at a time” admonition when it happens. Caveat: if your court’s style guide wants “crosstalk” instead, follow that.
