Let’s “Hear It” for Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA)

ACRA Walk4Hearing 2016

Let’s “Hear It” for HLAA, and for members, friends and family of “Team ACRA” who came out strong at Saturday’s fun Walk4Hearing event! Walk4Hearing was held at Sloan Park – Riverview, Mesa, Arizona, (Spring Training Home of the World Champion Chicago Cubs). http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/chc/mesa/ The weather and spirits were bright and sunny, contributing to the perfect day.
We are fortunate that we live in a time where there was a Sea of Cochlear Implant success stories. We?ll be keeping our ear to the ground on exciting developments in this field. Thank you for helping us raise awareness and funding for the deaf and hard of hearing.

The Arizona Court Reporters Association and Herder & Associates: Committed to “Service Above Self.”

POTUS Delivers 6th SOTU. Thanks Official Court Reporter For His Service

President Obama used his sixth State of the Union address before Congress to reiterate his call for political compromise.?

Reactions to the SOTU were predictably partisan and non-productive.??

It is difficult for the American people to see where?anyone on either side of the aisle?is listening to “We The People.”

The 10% extreme fringe of each side of the political spectrum continues to drown out the majority in the middle.

To quote Dave Ramsey, “If you are waiting on the President or Congress to fix your life, your life will continue to suck.”

For a full transcript of tonight’s 2015 SOTU address, go to:

Local Court Reporter Marty Herder Contributes to New Book

The National Court Reporters Association (NCRA), the country's leading organization representing stenographic court reporters, broadcast and CART captioners, and legal videographers, today announced that Marty Herder, a freelance court reporting firm owner of AZ Litigation Support in Phoenix, Az., is a contributor to the recently released book Court Reporter Survival Guide: School Success Stories, a collection of essays and tips about making it through court reporting school written by freelancers, officials, CART captioners, and current students.

Court Reporter Survival Guide features heartfelt collection of stories for professionals and students

The National Court Reporters Association (NCRA), the country’s leading organization representing stenographic court reporters, broadcast and CART captioners, and legal videographers, today announced that Marty Herder, a freelance court reporting firm owner of AZ Litigation Support in Phoenix, Az., www.CourtReportersAz.com, ?is a contributor to the recently released book Court Reporter Survival Guide: School Success Stories, a collection of essays and tips about making it through court reporting school written by freelancers, officials, CART captioners, and current students.

 

“This collection is a true Chicken Soup for the Soul type book that offers advice and insight from the only people who really understand the ins and outs of court reporting: other court reporters and captioners,” said Jim Cudahy, executive director and CEO of NCRA.
“Professional court reporters engage in a rigorous training that includes both educational components and skill development-much like learning to play a new instrument-with a high degree of skill and accuracy. As such, court reporters share a common pride and sense of accomplishment for having completed their professional training. This collection serves as a good reminder to court reporters that despite the sometimes difficult road to earning their place in this unique profession, the ultimate achievement of becoming a ?keeper of the record’ was worth it,” Cudahy added. According to a recently released report by Ducker Worldwide, demand for court reporters will exceed supply within five years, yielding a nationwide shortage. By 2018, there will be 5,500 new court reporter jobs available in the United States. Further, the average starting salary for court reporters is $43,000. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the growth rate for court reporting salaries is expected to increase by 14 percent through the year 2020. The softcover book – which includes the eight chapters: Superheroes in Training; The Road Less Taken; Motivation; Learning to Juggle; Lean on Me; Practice, Practice, Practice; Testing Our Limits; and A Few Extra Briefs – is filled with rich content direct from the trenches. Insight and advice range from small snippets to essays that recalled the inspiration offered by friends, family, and mentors, as well as coping with the anxiety created by drills, tests, and hours of practice each day. The book also contains numerous testaments from contributors sharing the many benefits, rewards, and opportunities court reporting has offered them.

 

Herder is one of more than 60 of working court reporters, CART captioners, and students to have provided input. The content is often humorous and always thoughtful, and it includes an abundance of motivation for any reader.

“I was very fortunate that a respected professional reporter was selfless enough to mentor me at a very young age. I get so much out of paying it forward, and strive to live by Rotary International’s motto of ?Service Above Self’,'”?said Herder, the immediate past president of the Arizona Court Reporters Association.

 

He currently serves as the Arizona Delegate for the National Committee of State Associations, as well as current president of the Arizona Litigation Support Court Reporters in Phoenix.

The Court Reporter Survival Guide: School Success Stories is available for purchase from NCRA’s online store.

Important Changes to the Arizona Code of Judicial Administration

Our deepest respect and appreciation to membership of the Arizona Bar, the Court Reporting Board, the Committee on Superior Court, The Task Force on Certified Court Reporting Regulation, the Arizona Judicial Council, and the Arizona Court Reporters Association.?? The recently-approved revision of ACJA 7-206 goes a long way toward the goal of protecting the public by now registering reporting firms, mandating demonstration of true equality in billing, prohibiting the reporting profession from facilitating or engaging in advocatory activities and defining protocols for increased security of the record.

Top TEN Reasons To Engage The Services of A Local Reporter-Owned Court Reporting Agency

AZ Litigation Support, LLC1) ?Locally-owned reporting agencies provide all the court reporting-related litigation-support services available in the national marketplace efficiently and without needless costly layers of administration under the snake oil of “economies of scale.”

2) ?Independent locally-owned reporters are truly impartial, not owned by the carrier, and will not subject you and your client to unethical business practices by being contracted to a party-in-interest.? You have the right and duty to demand your client is protected from themselves at every turn in the litigation process.

3)? Your local reporter, the individual who actually attends your deposition, is personally vetted by YOU and your firm, not by an uninformed bean counter on the other side of the country who doesn?t trust your judgement, and who has been duped by a slick national marketing campaign.

4)? Locally-owned agencies reinvest money into the local and regional economies; they do not siphon off significant dollars to other states, regions, counties or countries.?? You have the power to strengthen and enrich YOUR community.

5)? Locally-owned agencies have a proud long-term track record of consistent, professional commitment to providing attentive, value-added services to their market and clients.

6) ?Volume discounts come with a price and are no bargain when the service rates for the network firm you have been calling are appreciably higher than the comparative service rates of your local reporter-owned reporting agency.

7) ?Arizona court reporters are bound by a Code of Ethics that addresses, among other things, a prohibition on kick-back incentives for scheduling with the agency, as well as establishing contracts at below-customary rates, which would compromise, or give the appearance of compromising, the necessary impartial role of the court reporter in proceedings. ?National reporting firms have used the defense that they are not bound by this same Code. ??A unique defense to skirt ethical violations, until you and your client are on the opposing side.

8) ?Arizona licensed CRs are required to attend continuing education seminars on relevant local rules, updates, technology and business practices in order to maintain their certification.

9) ?Local reporter-owned agencies know the importance of providing upfront, itemized billing without hidden costs or overcharges to cover incentive programs.

10) ?Reporter-owned agencies have been historically efficient at networking among themselves with known, personally-vetted peers to provide coverage for the legal community, and offer the highest level of service available at the most economical cost.
