5.0 out of 5 stars
Awesome!, January 17, 2008
This review is from: Ramblings...off the record (Paperback)
Awesome! Carmelita shares her life -- the good, the bad, the ugly, including foibles and mishaps. In a profession that few understand, I find this a wonderful opportunity to connect with someone who does. I'm amazed at the life opportunities Carmelita has had and is so willing to share with others. In the span of a few pages, I find myself sitting with mouth agape in awe of the experience, only to convulse with laughter in the next paragraph, then weeping in the next!
I highly recommend it to anyone in the court reporting field -- or even the legal field in general!

Great read -- great gift, February 28, 2008
This review is from: Ramblings...off the record (Paperback)
A good read for anyone in the legal field, anyone who knows anyone in the legal field, anyone who is thinking of getting into the legal field ...
A career court reporter, Carm tells of her courtroom adventures in the US and her travel adventures working as the only English-language real-timer in the Mediterranean, giving you a realistic view of both the good and the bad of the profession along with plenty of laughs along the way.
Carm rode out the Rodney King riots barricaded in the courthouse, luxuriated in five-star hotels (paid for by the client!), and has sprinted through more airports than she cares to count, lugging her trusty steno machine. And lived to tell about it.
Throughout she has helpful hints for the court reporting student and the beginning court reporter, as well as for the business traveler (like how *not* to pack your panties).
