COURT REPORTERS AND THEIR TRIAL TIPS

Great tips from the Harris County Court Reporters! I interviewed 12 of some of the best court reporters working the Harris County Criminal Courts and got their “inside information” on how jurors, lawyers, witnesses and judges can improve in trial to make it easier for the court reporter to take down ALL the information required of them for an excellent record.

 

 

RETAINED CASES
Are you curious if the RETAINED cases are dwindling at the Harris County Criminal Courthouse?  Here is the breakdown of retained cases (defendant paying a lawyer out of his own pocket), cases that are appointed (defendant receiving a free lawyer appointed by the judge and paid for by the county), cases that are appointed in the misdemeanor courts through the MAC system (defendant receiving a free lawyer selected by the Managed Assigned Counsel Program and paid for by the county) and cases that are appointed to the defense attorneys who work in the Public Defender’s Office.   See article on Harris County Indigent and Defense Systems (Information derived from District Clerk’s website > Public Datasets > CrimFilingsWithFutureSettings)
