VOICE WRITERS AND THE COURT REPORTERS' BOARDTo register for the next The Voice of Justice As we all are aware, California has passed AB 156 (2021-2022) which authorizes the California Court Reporters Board to license voice writers, holding them to exactly the same standard of testing and licensing required by a stenographer to obtain a CSR. We would like to thank SEIU, CCRA, and Cal-DRA for their collaboration in making this happen! LACCRA is very excited to welcome voice writers to the Los Angeles Superior Court. Per the CRB, current holders of a stenographic CSR license that wants to learn voice writing would have to pass the dictation portion only. However, the CSR would need to designate voice or steno, not both (this may be subject to change as time goes on).

VOICE WRITING UPDATE: We have successfully held several Find Your Voice webinars to introduce/educate prospective students and reporters about voice writing that were attended by approximately 200 people in all. Schools are full of waiting lists for voice writing. Steno enrollment is still very strong and growing as well. Please click here for the Court Reporter schools list.
