For a non-record municipal court seal, what is true about its wording?

• A. The statute requiring the non-record seal doesn't provide the wording.
• B. It must say NON-RECORD.
• C. It must be blue in color.
• D. It must include the date of creation.

Answer: (A)

When a non-record seal is authorized, the exact wording on the seal is not typically set by the statute. The key idea is that the statute requiring the non-record seal does not provide the exact text to appear on the seal, so the precise wording is left to local court rules or practice. That’s why the correct understanding is that the statute doesn’t prescribe the wording. Color or date details aren’t universally mandated by the statute either; those elements, if needed, are determined by local rules rather than by the statute itself. So you’d look to local court rules for the exact seal language rather than assuming a fixed phrase like “NON-RECORD,” a specific color, or a creation date.
