Tips for conducting a great examination

Legal Examination Tips

While there is no one way to conduct a great hearing, discovery or cross-examination, there’s some tried and tested ways to make sure things run smoothly. Our court reporters have seen a wide variety of examinations and have come up with this short list of the best practices to get you going.

·         Preparation. There’s no substitute for it and can make all the difference when you’re conducting an examination

·         Civility. Although litigation can be a stressful time, maintaining professionalism and a calm manner is helpful for everyone (including your court reporter!)

·         Keeping your voice loud and clear throughout

·         Be on time!

Just the audio

Transcription-only services

We don’t restrict our services to Toronto where unnecessary. We know that not every company or organization requires a court reporter, too. That’s why we offer transcription only services. Just send us your audio and we will transcribe.

Certified Transcriptions

Sometimes the format of the transcription you require will differ from another transcription. We’re happy to accommodate that and will produce and certify that we have done the most accurate transcription possible. We are, of course, impartial and always ensure to proof-read transcripts for accuracy.

We also know you might be in a crunch. Let us know when you need the audio to be transcribed (even if it’s the same day!) and we will do our best to meet your needs. Toronto Court Reporting is pleased to offer transcription services. Just send us the audio!

The next wave of court reporting

It was time for a change...

Much like the legal industry, court reporting has taken a long time to catch up with other industries. A neutral third-party is certainly important to ensure an impartial record but lawyers are still spending valuable time and money paying court reporters who have to pay Bay Street overhead.

It’s time for a change! At Toronto Court Reporting we realized that court reporters don’t need to charge Bay Street prices. The technology we use is mobile and can be brought to any office. Law firms often have extra offices where examinations can be held at no cost. This means that lawyers, law firms and their clients all save money.

But we don’t cut corners.

Toronto Court Reporting is committed to doing proofreading in-house – we never outsource. And we make sure our court reporters are properly trained and able to administer oaths. We also make sure we can offer expedited transcripts. Toronto Court Reporting is proud to do this at a reduced price for all our clients.
