​Court reporters produce highly accurate records and transcripts of court proceedings, depositions, and hearings that are critical to the administration of justice. Court reporters are an integral part of the judicial process.

There is a current shortage of court reporters across the nation. The high demand provides court reporters with job security and flexibility within the career and your schedule. It is not unusual for court reporters to earn six-figure salaries.

“The initial attraction to the field was my fascination with how fast the court reporter’s hands were going; the judge kept mentioning that she was typing everything that was being said. I had always loved typing at my job and (as nerdy as this sounds) would sometimes take online typing tests to see how fast I could type. But the thing that sealed the deal was the money. I’m not going to lie, when she said what she made, I was floored.”
