What Method of Reporting do YOU Trust for Your Case?
Not all methods of reporting were created equal. There are important distinctions to make between what a Certified Court Reporter and a Digital Court Reporter can do for you to take into consideration.
Digital Recorders
- ARE NOT state certified
- CANNOT call themselves court reporters
- ARE NOT background checked (even though they have access to your private information/sensitive material)
- DO NOT have to follow a Code of Professional Conduct (which requires impartiality)
- HAVE NO standards for accuracy of transcripts, which are not certified
- NO state-approved training, certificate, licence, or background check of machine operators (who have access to your sensitive materials)
- If the recording equipment malfunctions, the recorded legal proceedings are jeopardized
Certified Reporters
- ARE licensed by the Supreme Court of Arizona following a training and certification process
- ARE knowledgeable in technical/medical terminology
- CAN provide instant access to your transcripts via realtime reporting, rough drafts, and expedited transcripts
- CAN read back on the spot
- CAN stop proceedings when speaks talk over one another to protect transcript accuracy
- MUST follow the Code of Professional Conduct, which sets out need for impartial parties.
- CAN have their license suspended/revoked by Board of Certified Reporters for unprofessional conduct
- CAN provide remote reporting services through tele/videoconference
- Transcripts are CERTIFIED and can be used in court
Certified court reporters are the gold standard in Arizona. Which seems right for you?
