The benefits of becoming a court reporter

Much of the discussion on this blog centers around the importance of certified court reporters to the legal system and the benefits of having a specially trained individual to handle the transcription services of a legal proceeding.

The article, which was written by Katy Allgeyer, delves into the many ways that court reporting can provide those without a law degree with a fulfilling career that keeps them well engrained in court proceedings. As the article says, what other career can bring an individual into the midst of a trial without having to go to law school?

Allgeyer also lists the financial and logistical benefits of becoming a court reporter, which includes a flexible schedule that can still be profitable.

"Also known as 'stenographers,' they are the mavericks within the legal system because they are generally highly-paid independent contractors setting their own hours. Speed and accuracy are the most important skills."

According to the story, a reporter can work just two days a week and make an annual salary of $50,000, while certified court reporters with an "officialship" can earn $75,000-$85,000 a year.
