My response:

Not unless there's a judge's signature on it, too. If there is a judge's signature on it, but the original is lost, then it can be admitted into evidence under the "secondary evidence rule" (formerly called "the best evidence rule").

However, the judge might ask you why you didn't get a conformed copy from the originating court.
