Court Reporting
A court reporter, also known as a court clerk or stenographer, is a key player in legal cases — with a duty to produce an accurate and complete transcript of courtroom proceedings, witness testimonies, and depositions. Court reporting requires an understanding of medical terminology, maritime law, construction defects, and all aspects of litigation, not to mention good grammar and especially fast typing skills. Our Court Reporting program will help prepare you for a career as a court reporter in a variety of settings — in the courtroom, government sector, corporations, freelance reporting agencies, or closed captioning industries.
The program will teach you the necessary skills to become a court reporter with a combination of coursework and real-world experience through our judicial internship. You will learn how to operate a computer-aided transcription (CAT) system and related technologies using translate, edit, and print functions. You will develop listening and concentration skills, as well as gain a broad knowledge of socio-cultural, academic, medical, legal, and professional language, and learn the National Court Reporters Association (NCRA) Code of Professional Ethics necessary for court reporting.
