TFor many court reporters, there has been a tremendous change in the court reporting community, both from the perspective of a court reporting agency owner court reporters in both the official and freelance communities. These changes will be around for a while until the next big change.
It wouldn’t be normal not to be concerned about the future. It does not resemble the past as we have known it for so long. There are several trends in the court reporting world, especially in consolidations and becoming very corporate. Extremes in anything doesn’t work, and I truly hope as we enter a new decade that some of the old simple court reporting values are not lost in the new corporate environment.
