Tag Archives: AB 711

AB 711 aims to address California’s court reporter shortage by requiring attorneys to disclose whether they will provide a certified shorthand reporter for hearings. However, industry experts argue the bill is a superficial fix, ignoring more effective solutions, like CoverCrow – a tech-driven platform that streamlines reporter scheduling and distributes court reporter resources more efficiently, eliminating the double appearances. True reform requires embracing innovation, expanding education programs, and fostering mentorship to sustain the profession.
