NCRF’s Legal Education Program seminar, “Making the Record,” has received high praise. This seminar is designed to educate law students, young attorneys, and judges about the importance of making a good record. Seminar tools are provided to court reporters for free and are designed to be customized for the specific audience.
Making the Record booklet
Making the Record is a publication of the National Court Reporters Association and has undergone several revisions since it was first published in 1937. The purpose of the booklet remains to help the bench and bar better understand the factors that help make a clear record.
