Treating Court Reporters Right

By

Court reporters have to be some of the nicest and most patient people you’ll ever find in a courtroom. They also perform magic when transcribing their recordings. Heaven knows lawyers, judges, and witnesses mumble, garble, and otherwise mangle our fair tongue.

Evan Schaeffer’s Trial Practice blog (as opposed to his Legal Underground one), has a post, Treating Court Reporters Right:

    As a court reporter, I genuinely enjoy the company of all attorneys and judges, whether they’re arguing or not, and, yes, even the few cantankerous ones. Attorneys are very intelligent and interesting people. All the other reporters I have spoken to about this subject also feel the same way.

    Many times you find yourself in lonely adversarial positions, but you can always count on one friendly face in the crowd, always.

    I think the reporters I have met in deposition settings or in courtrooms have always been very professional, courteous, and darn right accurate in what they provide litigants. I cannot imagine why anyone would not use a court reporter and insist on a tape recorder. They help keep things organized, they are an integral part of the process of law. The legal system needs them now more than ever. I have to say though someone brought cookies to a deposition at my office and I was a bit offended about how that made me think of the professional I was expecting.
