Book Description

ISBN-10: 0130791385 | ISBN-13: 978-0130791382 | Publication Date: August 18, 1995 | Edition: 3

Written by educators — who understand and address the true needs and trepidations of readers — this book offers a pedagogically sound introduction to court reporting that enables readers to write new material with little hesitation, throughout. Each lesson is divided into a theory presentation section and a drill and practice section. It incorporates realtime writing principles throughout (i.e., the technology that allows court reporters to write and have their notes translated by a computer in realtime); organizes realtime theory principles in distinct, easy-to-locate sections. Separates the realtime theory principles from the regular theory presentation — enabling instructors to delay the introduction of realtime principles until readers are comfortable with writing the basic theory principles.
