ARE THERE UNIFORM RECORD KEEPING PRACTICES AMONG BATEI DIN?
No. Each beit din decides how it will maintain its own records, and records in some batei din are not computerized. Some batei din are convened for one particular case, and there are no uniform rules as to how or where records from that beit din are maintained. (See III:9.) We advise that each litigant keep records for him/herself of the full name of the beit din, the names of all the dayyanim, the names and addresses of any witnesses, name of the scribe, a list of all other people present at the proceeding, and the location, date and time of all proceedings.
