Court reporting and court reporters will be facing the same economic challanges that exist in many other sectors of the economy. There are becoming fewer jobs in every aspect of court reporting and that’s because the volume of court reporting has fallen in the courts as well as in the legal industry. Law firms are firing because of a lack of business and courts and other agencies are using other type of recording devices. So what then is the future of court reporters?
I think court reporters have to keep at the top of their game, always improving and increasing their skills. They must constantly show how incredible their range of skills must be to perform their job efficiently.
