The Court Reporter has one of the most difficult jobs in the courthouse. Imagine having to listen to EVERY single word in a trial and transcribing it! My hats-off to you! I will try to feature a court reporter each week and offer their tips on how we can make their job a little easier
Linda Hacker has been a court reporter since 1990. She worked freelance until 1994 then from 1994 to 2000 she worked as a substitute for the courts. In 2000 she landed a job as court reporter for the 339th then in 2009 as a court reporter for the 177th. She is currently the court reporter in the 177th – judge Robert Johnson presiding.
COURT REPORTER TIP –
“My day would go a lot smoother if…..”
I know other court reporters have said this and I would like to reiterate – PLEASE slow down AND do not talk over each other! We CANNOT take down your words when two people are talking at the same time or talking too fast. Thank you in advance!
