Two New Court Reporting Positions Announced!

On Wednesday, February 7th, Plaza College hosted the Unified Court System press conference. The event featured several guest speakers with notable experience in the field of court reporting. The event was part of a seven day series of events celebrating National Court Reporting and Captioning Week. 

Included on the panel of guest speakers was Denee Vadell (Senior Court Reporter and creator of “@stenofluencer”), Reid Goldsmith (President of the New York State Court Reporters Association and Plaza College adjunct faculty member), Christy Bass, (Human Resources director for the New York State Court System), Joshua Edwards, (Co-founder of StenoCaptions,LLC), and Karen Santucci, (Director of Plaza College’s Court Reporting Program).

At the press conference, the Office of Court Administration announced two new positions for Court Reporters. Through a new trainee position, recent graduates have the opportunity to refine their skills  under the supervision of more experienced court reporters and managers, with a possibility of promotion upon completion of the one-year traineeship. A state-wide court reporter position was also unveiled, with applications being accepted on a continuous basis.
