Which of the following is an example of a non-record that is also an official copy?

• A. The copy of a payroll register.
• B. The copy of a case appealed from a non-record court to an appellate court.
• C. A draft memo not approved.
• D. An email draft.

Answer: (B)

Understanding the distinction helps here: a non-record is something that isn’t kept as part of the court’s official file, but an item can still be an official copy if it’s the certified version used for a formal purpose, such as an appeal. The copy of a case appealed from a non-record court to an appellate court fits this idea because, even though the original court is a non-record court, the appellate process requires an official, certified copy of the case for review. The other options are not official copies used in court proceedings—payroll records, drafts, and unapproved communications don’t function as certified court copies and aren’t treated as official parts of a court record.
