Cost

• When it comes to the cost of a court reporter,
  you have several different options. While the
  costs of hiring a court reporter will vary, you
  can still get excellent service for an affordable
  price. Whether you need a reporter for a
  deposition or a full-service transcription, there
  are several factors you should consider when
  choosing a service. A court reporter with
  subject-matter expertise is especially valuable
  for complex litigation. They can provide accurate
  and complete records during depositions and
  appeals.

• Most court reporters base their charges on the
  number of pages that are required for the
  transcript. This fee can range anywhere from 25
  to 500, although the actual amount can vary
  widely depending on the market. A reporter with
  more experience may be able to complete the
  deposition in 3.5 hours instead of five. The cost
  of hiring a court reporter with expertise and
  experience will be higher, but the quality of the
  transcript will be more reliable.

Career options

• Among the many career options available to
  individuals with a passion for language, court
  reporting has great job security. Court Reporter
  is responsible for generating closed captions for
  television, film and video. This type of work can
  be full or part time and allows you to set your
  own hours. As a court reporter, you have the
  ability to choose your own clients, as well as
  set your own schedule. There are also many
  opportunities for financial aid in court reporter
  service.

Experienced Reporters

• Due to the demand for Experienced Reporters in
  the legal field, salaries for stenographers are
  steadily increasing. Many metropolitan areas are
  in desperate need of new court reporters, and
  agencies are happy to transfer experienced
  employees to areas where there is a shortage of
  workers. Moreover, California, Texas, Illinois,
  New York, and Washington, D.C. are among the most
  sought after states for court reporters. Whether
  you're looking for a high-paying job or just a
  chance to travel the country, career
  opportunities in court reporting should be
  abundant.

Cost of transcripts

• If you're looking for court transcripts, it's
  important to know what to expect before ordering
  one. While court reporters charge by the original
  page of the transcript, you can expect to pay
  less for copies. Most court reporters base their
  pricing on the original order. A daily or
  overnight delivery will run you between 2.25 and
  4.75 per page. To get an exact quote, contact
  the chief court reporter. You can also ask about
  Realtime reporting.

• If you're looking for a cheaper way to get court
  transcripts, you can try using a DVD audio file.
  The cost for such a DVD can range between 10 and
  25. It's also helpful to know the final cost
  before committing to a particular transcription
  service. If you're looking for a cheap
  transcription service, however, you may want to
  look elsewhere. Commercial court transcripts can
  run between PS100 and PS120 per audio hour, while
  Just-transcription can cut that cost down to as
  little as 10 to 25 per audio hour.

Real-time transcripts

• When choosing a court reporting service, make
  sure that the reporter you choose is skilled at
  real-time transcription. While many reporters
  possess the skills to handle this type of job,
  there are some that are not. It is not always
  obvious to a legal assistant or paralegal how to
  request real-time transcription. They may even
  ask for Live Note, proprietary transcription
  software that requires additional training and
  education. In any case, real-time transcription
  is essential for ensuring the accuracy of the
  transcript.

10

• With real-time court reporting, you get instant
  information captured and stored in a transcript
  database. This information can be crucial when it
  comes to providing a jury with a brief history of
  the proceedings, appealing to the court, or
  recounting case developments within the court
  premises. Having a real-time transcript from your
  court reporting service can help you get the best
  results and keep your case moving forward. This
  option is a great benefit for attorneys.

Personal relationships between lawyer and reporter

• A personal relationship between a lawyer and
  court reporter may compromise the reporter's
  impartiality. Court reporters are expected to
  disclose such relationships to the parties and
  obtain their consent before proceeding. However,
  there are circumstances where this relationship
  might be beneficial for both the court reporter
  and the lawyer. Here are some examples. One
  respondent is an official court reporter for a
  single judge. Another respondent is an officer in
  the Court Reporter's state organization.

• One court reporter described how hard it was to
  listen to cases involving child sexual abuse. She
  was also stressed about witnessing the child's
  testimony in front of the abusers. She felt the
  urge to help the child, but realized that her job
  didn't provide an outlet for this. As such, she
  sought another avenue for helping these children.
  Although she worked long hours, she felt her role
  was not an outlet for her emotions.
