Certify trial evidence for a criminal appeal without retyping court and reporter details

Court reporters certifying evidence for criminal appeals under Rule 40.08 repeat court name, trial file references, appellant and respondent identities, and reporter contact information on every Form 2C certificate. This guide is an example of storing them once in hivi.
