Courts of record means...

• A. A record is kept of all court actions.
• B. Proceedings are not recorded.
• C. Only some actions are recorded.
• D. Judgments are recorded but not hearings.

Answer: (A)

Courts of record keep an official, permanent record of what happens in a case. This means that the proceedings—including testimony, arguments, and rulings—are captured and preserved, usually as a transcript or other formal record. That record can be reviewed on appeal and serves as the authenticated account of the entire proceeding. Because of this, a court of record maintains a record of all court actions, not just some or only the judgments. The other statements describe non-record situations where proceedings aren’t fully documented or where only parts of the process are kept, which is not the case here.
