Could potentially use cases for which both proceeding notes _and_ transcripts are available to train a sentiment analysis system to interpret the proceeding notes directly.

A further complication -- my understanding, this may be incorrect: court reporters are in at least some cases independent contractors. They hold rights to their transcripts. You're not actually dealing with the court in requesting them.

Your AI solution would 1) tremendously reduce consts and 2) almost certainly remove a large share of the income of these independent reporters.

Mind: the problem could be resolved by making reporters employees of the court.
