Court Reporting Schools
Court Reporting schools prepare students for a career working in the legal system. Court reporters typically take verbatim reports of speeches, conversations, legal proceedings, meetings, and other events when written accounts of spoken words are necessary for correspondence, records, or legal proof. Court reporters play a critical role not only in judicial proceedings, but at every meeting where the spoken word must be preserved as a written transcript. They are responsible for ensuring a complete, accurate, and secure legal record. In addition to preparing and protecting the legal record, many court reporters assist judges and trial attorneys in a variety of ways, such as organizing and searching for information in the official record or making suggestions to judges and attorneys regarding courtroom administration and procedure. Increasingly, court reporters are providing closed-captioning and realtime translating services to the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. It is the task of the court reporter to record history as it happens. Some might think the court reporters' domain is limited to court, but reporters today record history wherever it happens - conventions, Congress, classrooms, hearings, depositions, speeches, cyberspace, and television studios. Court reporters are highly skilled professionals who use the latest technology to deliver a verbatim account of the spoken word.
