Under general supervision, the Court Reporter records and transcribes a verbatim record of official court proceedings of all testimony and activity in cases heard before the Superior Court using stenographic, voice writing and/or real-time equipment, reads aloud recorded proceedings at the direction of the Court and prepares and certifies transcripts pursuant to applicable statutes, rules, regulations or policies. The Court Reporter is responsible for providing their own stenographic/computer, voice writing and transcription equipment, software and other materials per Government Code section 70313.

The Court Reporter is typically assigned to a particular Court facility but may be assigned on short notice to any courtroom at any Court facility to meet the needs of the Court.

Government Code section 69950 authorizes Court Reporters to charge a standard fee for transcription and copies in accordance with an established fee schedule. As an Independent Contractor, Court Reporters are compensated separately for these transcripts and copies, which may be prepared outside of regular Court working hours.

This is the journey level classification for the Court Reporter series. This class is responsible for the accurate verbatim reporting and transcription of official court proceedings. This function is usually performed in the courtroom; however, the needs of the Court may require reporting to be done in judicial officer chambers, conference rooms or in rare circumstances at off-site locations. Incumbents are expected to exercise considerable discretion in carrying-out responsibilities independently and with a thorough understanding of Court policies, procedures, standards and customer service issues.

The Court Reporter typically reports to a supervisory or management classification and may receive training and assignments from a Court Reporter Lead.

The Court Reporter classification is distinguished form the Court Reporter Lead classification in that the latter is the advanced journey-level classification within the series and assists in supervisorial functions. #J-18808-Ljbffr
