  1. When a court reporter receives a subpoena duces tecum for transcripts, what is the primary obligation?

    Answer: Produce the requested records as specified in the subpoena

    A subpoena duces tecum legally compels the reporter to produce specified records, and failure to comply can result in contempt of court.

  2. Which element is NOT typically required on a transcript certification page?

    Answer: Reporter's home address

    A reporter's home address is personal information not required on the certification page; name, credential number, and procedural details are standard.

  3. In what format must a court reporter maintain their stenographic notes under most state regulations?

    Answer: In a form that allows accurate transcription if needed

    Notes must be preserved in a retrievable form that permits accurate transcription, whether digital or paper, per most state CSR regulations.

  4. A reporter is asked to provide a rough draft transcript before the final certified version. What disclaimer must typically accompany the rough draft?

    Answer: That it has not been proofread or certified and is not the official record

    Rough drafts must be clearly marked as uncertified and unofficial so parties do not rely on them as the record of proceedings.

  5. When indexing exhibits attached to a deposition transcript, the reporter should:

    Answer: Number them sequentially regardless of which party introduced them

    Exhibits are indexed sequentially in the order introduced, providing a clear reference system for the transcript record.

  6. What does the term 'real-time record' refer to in court reporting?

    Answer: Instantaneous translation of stenographic keystrokes to readable text on a screen

    Real-time reporting uses CAT software to instantly translate stenographic notes into readable text displayed simultaneously during proceedings.

  7. If a certified transcript contains a typographical error discovered after delivery, the reporter should:

    Answer: Issue an errata sheet or amended certification noting the correction

    An errata sheet or amended certification documents corrections while maintaining the integrity of the original certified transcript.
