Court Reporting Assessment
Court Reporting is the verbatim shorthand reporting method used primarily to record legal proceedings. The information recorded is transcribed creating an official transcript that is considered a legal document when completed by a "certified" court reporter. This recording procedure is also used for medical and business transcription purposes, e.g. medical transcription, meetings, conventions, public hearings, closed captioning, and other private activities. Topics on this assessment include grammar, punctuation, legal terminology, medical terminology, general terminology, and steno note taking. This assessment would be appropriate to be given to anyone looking to function as a court reporter.
Assessments for Legal Abbreviations, Legal Filing Skills, and for Legal Typing are also available.
