New York City Court Reporters
New York City court reporters have many different opportunities for performing court reporting in New York City. One type of court reporting in New York City is becoming a New York City hearing court reporter. A hearing court reporter reports different types of hearings. Some of the most common hearing court reporter positions occur at the Workmen’s Compensation Board where the hearing officers hear workers cases involving workmen’s compensation claims. There is a test given to obtain such a position but the requirements for a hearing court reporter are usually not as difficult as a court reporter working in the state of federal courts because the nature of the hearings are not as difficult as a complex federal litigation. A court reporter position doing workmen’s compensations hearings is a very good place to begin for a new reporter who is interested in doing some form of court reporting which involves medical terminology and have benefits and the security of a Civil Service position.
