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.

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.
