What happens when the court reporter’s voice is ignored?
In this episode, we take an honest, grounded look at one of the most exhausting parts of our profession: protecting the record when multiple people are talking over each other despite repeated attempts to speak up.
This conversation is for court reporters who have ended a deposition feeling completely drained… not because of the length or the terminology, but because of the behaviors of the participants...
We are not here to bash anyone.
We are here to talk about reality.
