Get Behind our Government & Public Relations Initiatives to Keep the Court Reporting Profession On Top
Until recently, court reporters' interests were virtually unknown on Capitol Hill. Today we have a strong presence on the Hill after our successful enactment of the Court Reporter Fair Labor Standards Amendments of 1995, and our work with legislators on the Hill to create federal funding for Realtime Writer/Captioner Training. Check out what the Public Policy & Advocacy team is working on now.
Our ongoing Image Awareness Campaign is promoting and reinforcing the value of court reporting services to traditional and non-traditional clients both inside and outside the legal community.
So take a moment to join now! If you have any questions email our Member Services Information Center or call 800-272-NCRA(6272)
