[A copy of the official Court transcript is not currently available online, but it should be part of the UPA microfiche collection, as all cases were transcribed beginning with the 1968 term. Note that prior to 1968, cases were not regularly transcribed, but since audio recordings exist from 1955 onward, UPA used those tapes to create transcripts for roughly 1/3 of all cases from 1955 to 1968. Prior to the 1955 term, there are no recordings, and transcripts were made on a rare case-by-case basis.]
