How to become a court reporter
Why become a court reporter?
Court reporters are specialized and trained professionals who work in often high-pressure litigation settings to deliver accurate transcripts. The name court reporter is a misnomer, as most court reporting takes place out of court leading up to trial. Many legal matters never end up in court, as it is extremely expensive and both parties do not want to take the risks that trail involves.
Salary of court reporters
This depends on how much and how often you work. Court reporters schedules often fluctuate upon demand, which make it a flexible and attractive option for those seeking a flexible work schedule.

Virtual court reporting
While covid-19 slowed some litigation to a halt, some lawyers (and Toronto Court Reporting) knew that the show must go on. We quickly implemented court reporting by video conference. We knew not having a physical space didn’t change the ability for fast transcripts and great court reporting - we’ve never had a physical space! Our business is premised on efficient court reporting, saving costs for litigants, lawyers and organizations.
