MS Court Reporter case studies

The Mississippi Certified Court Reporter credential is administered through the Board of Certified Court Reporters, which appears on the State of Mississippi Judiciary website (courts.ms.gov) as a standing entity alongside the Administrative Office of Courts, the Court Interpreter listing, and CLE resources. The credential is intended for verbatim stenographic reporters who record and transcribe proceedings in Mississippi's trial and appellate courts. Candidates should understand the court landscape they will work in: the Judiciary site organizes the appellate courts (Supreme Court and Court of Appeals), trial courts (Chancery, Circuit, County, Justice, Municipal, and Youth), and intervention courts, and it notes that all Chancery, Circuit, and County Courts use the Mississippi Electronic Courts (MEC) system to e-file trial court records. Preparation should center on the primary materials the Judiciary publishes under its RESEARCH tab: the searchable Mississippi Code, the Mississippi Rules of Court, and the Mississippi Model Jury Instructions. The MS Court Reporter case studies are 5 cases and about 2,638 words.
