Litigation during stressful times
At Toronto Court Reporting, we have worked with hundreds of litigators over the last few years.
We’ve learned a thing or two from working with high-functioning, often stressed out professionals.
Litigation is notoriously stressful. Examinations for discoveries, cross-examinations, preparing questions, witnesses, you’re expected to be on the ball at all times.
Tips for litigating during stressful times
Rely on others when possible - you can’t do it all yourself. Book experienced court reporters who handle scheduling your discoveries and cross-examinations for you.
Delegate and ask for help. While some deadlines are set in stone, others can be changed. Due to covid-19, many unexpected issues may arise. Ask for help if you need it.
Look after your mental wellbeing. You can’t litigate well if you’re not feeling healthy and happy - take time to look after yourself. Get away from the computer and get outside!

How to become a court reporter
While there are designations for court reporters, much of the job requires technical training on the job. Toronto Court Reporting offers virtual training to new court reporters who then job shadow court reporters on the job.
Why become a court reporter?
Flexibility - court reporting lets you work flexible hours.
Interesting cases and a variety of work - report on lots of different matters. Discoveries, cross-examinations, arbitrations and mediations. A great job for someone interested in the law, who does not want to become a paralegal or lawyer
Quick training - unlike becoming a lawyer, you can become a court reporter fairly quickly! Feel free to email us for more information on the process.
Work from home - Many court reporters are able to stay at home and work. We provide Court Reporting by Zoom and MS Teams.
