(a)(1) Every justice of the peace, on the demand of any person in whose favor he has rendered judgment for more than ten dollars ($10.00), exclusive of costs, shall, upon payment of costs thereon, give to that person a certified copy of the judgment. (2) The clerk of the circuit court of the same county in which the judgment was rendered, upon the production of any such transcript, shall file the transcript in his office and forthwith enter the judgment in the docket of the circuit court for judgments and decrees, and shall note therein the time of filing the transcript.
