LA Superior Court online schedule clarifies “bring your own reporter”

A little over a year ago, state-ordered budget cuts prompted the Los Angeles Superior Court to close dozens of courtrooms countywide and lay of hundreds of workers—including court reporters.

Since then, if you had a civil proceeding in the LA Superior Court, you probably thought you always had to provide your own reporter. In reality, it depends on the day and time your case is being heard. Every week, non-furloughed county court reporters are on hand and ready to work—in some courts at some times on Monday, Wednesday and Friday; in other courts at other times on Tuesday and Thursday.

To help attorneys know exactly when “BYOR” applies, the LA Superior Court has put its reporter schedule online. Now you can check the calendar in advance. If a county reporter is scheduled, you’re all set. If you need to bring your own reporter, it’s still easy.

Just let Hahn & Bowersock know online, from your mobile device, by phone or by email. We’ll respond immediately and schedule an expert, experienced reporter who’s worked in the court where your case is appearing.

Checking the LA court reporter schedule is fast and easy. Just follow these steps:
