The Court Reporter has one of the most difficult jobs in the courthouse. Imagine having to listen to EVERY single word in a trial and transcribing it! My hats-off to you! I will try to feature a court reporter each week and offer their tips on how we can make their job a little easier

Karen Hendricks has been a court reporter since 2011. She spent 4 years doing freelance then became the court reporter for County Criminal Court at Law Number 11 for 4 years. Since January 2019 she has been the court reporter for the 228th Criminal District Court – judge Frank Aguilar presiding.

COURT REPORTER TIP –

“My day would go a lot smoother if…..”

We could educate JURORS BEFORE they enter the courtroom on “how to be a good juror during voir dire.” Perhaps give them handouts in the hall while they wait to come into the courtroom. Tips – speak up, say your juror number before speaking, don’t talk at same time as lawyer, etc.

*Special Felonies – Excludes certain felony dismissals – see “The Making of this Blog – What Goes into It” for the exceptions
