Court Reporters and Court Reporters

court reporter: While some court reporters are still employed to keep accurate records of court proceedings as they happen – typically referred to as real-time court reporters – others are hired to make notes and citations to supplement digital recordings, including accurate spelling of names, case numbers, charges and case law, according to Globe and Mail. Court reporters can also provide the closed captions on live broadcasts and recorded shows. Stewart said it is the court reporter responsibility to familiarize himself or herself with the case before the proceedings begin, and arrive half an hour early to ensure that all recording devices and microphones are functional and capable of keeping accurate records. Salary: The salary of a court reporter will vary, based on geography and employer. Stewart says that a skilled court reporter can earn a starting salary of $40,000 in the first year, while seasoned court reporters can earn more than $60,000. Ms. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
