Benefits of Seattle Realtime Reporting

As an attorney, you have many different court reporting options from which you can choose. Digital reporting involves a reporter transcribing a recorded sound file. Real time reporting involves a Seattle court reporters transcribing the court or other legal proceeding in real time. Here are some of the benefits of this type of reporting.

Many times, depositions and other legal proceedings are held several days in a row, especially if you have several witnesses to interview. If you have a transcription of each day’s deposition that same day, you can use it to put together the deposition questions for the next day.

Another advantage to having a report done in real time is that you can see things in writing, which helps you as a legal professional stay focused and on target. When you can read the report the same day, the details are more likely to stay fresh in your mind and therefore will likely make more sense when you have to recall them later.

A third advantage to real time reporting is that you can correct errors right away rather than waiting for a transcript. If there is a consistent spelling error of someone’s name in a document, it may be difficult to recall the correct spelling later on. However, when you have a report being transcribed in real time, you can correct any errors before they become big issues.

Accurate Transcripts

If it were not for transcripts, people would rely on their imprecise memories during trials. Lawyers, judges, and juries would then be forced to make decisions based on their perceptions of what happened rather than reviewing what truly happened. A transcript gives the best chance at a fair trial because neither lawyer is forced to rely on incomplete notes. Only when all the information is available for review, can both parties be certain that they have not left any points out.

In the United States, precedent law is based on a continuation of previous court rulings. Without an accurate and searchable knowledge base of transcripts, it would be time consuming and difficult to track precedent rulings and law. With the aid of transcripts, it is possible to determine the similarities and differences between a current and a past case.
