Methods of Capturing the Record

Accurately capturing the official record at depositions, hearings, EUOs, and other legal proceedings is an essential part of our justice system.

There are three primary methods currently in use to capture the record and each produce a final, verbatim transcript that can be used at hearings, trial and other proceedings. In all methods of capture, the reporter is a trained professional who understands civil procedure and is present as an unbiased office of the court for the duration of the proceeding.
