What weight should the transcription record paper have?

At least 10 pounds
At least 13 pounds
At least 15 pounds
At least 20 pounds

The correct answer is: At least 13 pounds

The correct weight of transcription record paper is significant for ensuring durability and print quality. A weight of at least 13 pounds is typically considered suitable as it provides a good balance between thickness and ease of handling, allowing for crisp text and a professional presentation of transcripts, which can be essential in legal contexts. This weight helps minimize issues like ink bleed-through while still being manageable for the court reporter during the transcription process. Heavier options, such as 15 or 20 pounds, could be more cumbersome to work with, and while lighter choices might not provide sufficient quality, 13 pounds is widely regarded as the optimal choice in many legal settings.
