COURT REPORTERS AND THEIR TRIAL TIPS

Great tips from the Harris County Court Reporters! I interviewed 12 of some of the best court reporters working the Harris County Criminal Courts and got their “inside information” on how jurors, lawyers, witnesses and judges can improve in trial to make it easier for the court reporter to take down ALL the information required of them for an excellent record.

 

Show Me The Justice recognizes Defense Attorneys  Julie Jones (l-r), Ron Johnson and Pat Kelley for an excellent job putting together another fun-filled afternoon of fashion after a 3-year COVID hiatus.  Julie Jones has been coordinating Feast of Fashion – an annual fashion show of men and women from our legal profession – for many years and we are all looking forward to next year’s event.  For a look at the photos of your favorite models from our legal profession click here.
