So I’ve been collecting some funny court reporting-related things for a while now, and I thought I now would be a good time to post them. Why now? I passed a test last week and that means I have one test left.
One test. This should make me feel good, but I’m nervous, wondering if I the Mira was the best choice and hoping that the folks at the agency where I interned will make good on their promise of a job when I finish.
Anyhow, a little stress relief. Here we go:
Everything I learned is wrong
In school our teachers have always instructed us to feel the keys. Feel them, they say. So I developed my speed through something like a muscle memory, if that makes sense.
That’s why I was really surprised when I saw a court reporter with a prosthetic finger. I wonder, does she feel the key(s)? Obviously not. I mean, not the same way with a prostheses. So take that, teachers. The court reporter strives!
Humor in the court room!
A judge in Texas posts regular excerpts (his or those adapted from the court reporter, I don’t know) of incidents in the court room. I like the court reporter cameo in this anecdotes. I mean, come on defense. Can’t you coach your witness a little better next time?

Thanks for the “Humor in the Court Room” it gave me have a good giggle for the day.
