Court Reporters

Court reporters may elect to offer pro bono to all parties in litigation or only to parties who are “low-income persons” as determined by the Pro Bono Project. In order to avoid misunderstandings about the scope of service, we encourage court reporters to use this Court Reporter Agreement or a similar contract outlining the terms of service.
