The Court and Free-Lance Reporter Profession: Improved Management Strategies

Court reporters–those who record courtroom legal proceedings and then transcribe them into writing–are a growing subspecialty in the field of legal administration. With the increasing volume of litigation in U.S. courts, the duties of all reporters have become more complex and their ranks increasingly professionalized. This book serves as an introduction to the business of legal reporting and a guide to those involved in managing reporters–both those who work for court jurisdictions and those who work on a free-lance or contract business for independent firms specializing in legal reporting services.
