COURT REPORTING PLAN
II. Hybrid Model of Court Reporting. The Seventeenth Judicial Circuit has implemented a hybrid model of court reporting, combining the use of stenographic equipment by contractors, and electronic digital recording by contractors and full-time court employees and subsequent transcription by approved transcriptionists and/or court employees.
