What does this charge mean?
This statute says if a habeas corpus case is filed in a court that doesn't normally have a court reporter, the judge must immediately tell the administrative director, and the administrative director must quickly arrange for a court reporter to record the case. For courts that get many habeas corpus cases, the administrative director can set up reporters without waiting for case-by-case notification.
