Laughter and chatter fill the home, but there can also be stressful, especially for those who have a growing business or for those who want to stay fit through the goodies eating time of year. An attitude of health and gratitude this holiday season will go a […]

Remote Depositions in a Pandemic World

If you’re tired of hearing about the pandemic, you’re not alone. Like many of you, our business model adjusted to the new reality that our volume of remote depositions in a pandemic world increased, while at the same time the need for in-person depositions decreased. Okay, maybe not the need, but for the safety of […]

Resolutions for 2021

When the clock struck midnight on January 1, 2021, I felt a sense of optimism but also the weight of 2020. Many of us feel like that. While some choose to bulldoze forward, others are more cautious. Whatever you’ve chosen for your resolutions for 2021, you’re doing what is best for you. If you’re like […]

  • The Legal Record Is Not a Decorative Byproduct of Litigation. It Is Evidence.January 19, 2026 - 6:27 pm

    In courtrooms across the country, the legal record is increasingly treated like a technical convenience rather than what it actually is: evidence. Audio files are captured, cloud platforms are deployed, automated systems are introduced, and transcription is framed as a downstream clerical task. In this framing, the “record” becomes a product to be processed later, […]

  • 2026: Your GenesisDecember 31, 2025 - 11:43 am

    I have consistently worked out in a gym 75 minutes a day, 6 days a week, for the past 45 years. First International Fitness, then Westside Barbell, then Gold’s, World Gym, LA Fitness, EOS, Mountainside, and a slew of others both locally and across the country. But consistently: 75 minutes, 6 days a week. And it […]

  • Losing a LegendDecember 2, 2023 - 3:45 pm

    Very early in our careers in the legal industry we realize that not only do we all work together, but we also learn together, we grow together, we celebrate together, and we mourn together. Sadly, we lost an American legend and true trailblazer today.  A skilled and dedicated attorney, that in spite of facing discrimination rose […]

    Whether we like it or not, we live in a world rife with Deep Fakes, CGI, and AI. How do we ensure the integrity of sworn testimony into the future? The National Court Reporters Association has created a position statement on the dangers of using AI in legal proceedings.

  • Will AI ever replace court reporters?June 8, 2023 - 6:20 pm

    For anyone who asks the question: Will court reporters be replaced by digital reporting or AI: ChatGPT: The potential for AI to replace court reporters is a topic of ongoing discussion and speculation. While AI technology has made significant advancements in recent years, there are several factors to consider when it comes to the role […]

    Court Reporting and Technology: Throw Away Your 8-Track Tapes (Part Two)May 3, 2022 - 6:00 am

    At personal risk of being the target of attack, I respectfully address court reporting leadership’s campaign of sending out a woefully outdated 16-year-old Advisory Opinion on court reporters who video record Zoom depositions. I first wrote about this issue in Court Reporting and Technology. First, let’s recall that this is a pre-Zoom, pre-pandemic, 2006 outdated […]

    Court Reporting and Technology: The Rise of Video Depositions (Part One)April 27, 2022 - 6:24 pm

    If the Covid-19 era has taught court reporters anything, it is that technology changes fast and we need to adapt quickly. Rather than traveling to in-person depositions, we were thrust into the world of video depositions. After all, lawsuits were still happening and courts were operating, even if in a lesser capacity. Lockdowns had us […]

    Are your deposition transcripts falling short of the promise of being true and accurate? Start by looking at the certificate page.April 27, 2022 - 2:20 pm

    Automated Speech Recognition (ASR) isn’t new, but now your record is in peril with its use.  Additionally, ASR companies (digital reporters) are not bound to the state and federal guidelines, skills, and code that stenographic court reporters are.  The myriad of pitfalls with digital reporting includes not only accuracy, but also reliability, unauthorized disclosure/dissemination of […]
