What kind of professional do you need?
To provide pre-trial court reporting services for the Supreme Court of British Columbia (SCBC), a court reporter must be designated an Official Reporter by the Attorney General of BC.
Authorized Reporters may be hired by a party to attend a proceeding before a justice, master, or registrar of the BCSC to report the proceedings in machine shorthand and prepare any transcript requested by the party. Authorized Reporters may also transcribe BCSC proceedings in which they were not in attendance.
As glasses are to vision, CART captioning is to hearing. CART stands for communication access realtime translation. Speech-to-text realtime (meaning as it happens) translation is useful for anyone attending any event. However, specifically for people with hearing loss (and others with language and/or cognitive challenges), verbatim (meaning word-for-word) CART facilitates full participation.
If you're a BCSRA official reporter, authorized reporter, or CART provider whose name isn't listed (but you would like it to be), please email Liz.
