Why a certified reporter?

Court reporters have a very serious responsibility as the impartial record keepers in court and deposition proceedings. Having the skills and knowledge to fulfill this responsibility is crucial. In a field where technology is rapidly changing and litigation is becoming more sophisticated, continuing education and development to meet the changing demands of the profession becomes even more critical. But attorneys and the public in general in South Carolina are afforded no protection when it comes to hiring a court reporter; there are no requirements for certification here. That’s why Carolina Reporting has raised the bar. Each reporter in our firm has voluntarily taken and passed the National Court Reporters Association (NCRA) Registered Professional Reporter examination. Along with passing the test is the responsibility of continuing education and adherence to NCRA’s Code of Ethics. We believe by submitting to the requirements of national certification we lay the groundwork to raise personal performance. Our clients can be confident in our professional competence and recognize each reporter’s individual expertise and knowledge. Scheduling Carolina Reporting for your court reporting needs guarantees you an informed, up-to-date and ethical reporter with whom to work.
