The De-stressed Court Reporter

Blog


As a working realtime court reporter and owner of Neesons, I’ve experienced stress in its many forms over the years.  When I started court reporting, lawyers and judges spoke more for the record; breaks were longer; the rush just wasn’t the same.  Today, the pace at which lawyers speak, the expedited transcript delivery, and the amount of time court reporters are sitting either at their shorthand machines or laptop computers has increased significantly.  And they said...

Terrific Energy and Excitement at NCRA’s Annual Conference 2014

Blog


  While those of us who provide shorthand court reporting services in Ontario often feel undervalued and our livelihood threatened at every turn, it was refreshing and energizing to attend this year’s conference in San Francisco, California, over the first few days in August. To be among over 1,100 attendees is in itself a wonderful reminder of what our profession has given, and continues to give: friendship, networking, learning, laughter and more than a few “ah-ha” moments....
