Court Reporting World

Court reporters, captioners, Cart providers, we all speak the same language. The language of briefs. Briefs are the difference between having an easy day at work, or a day from heck. We can make any multi syllable word into a brief because we're brief ninjas.
Most lawyers have been in as many legal proceedings as you have, yet they still haven't learned you only have two ears and two hands. Let off some of the aggravation of dueling attorneys and witnesses and unwind with a cup of coffee or tea and dream about a perfect world where no one talked over each other.
There's a lot of junk that goes on in depos. People cuss, scream, call each other names and walk out of the deposition entirely. In most cases, the court reporter is the one that is the model of decorum in the room.
Court reporting may not be THE oldest profession, but it sure is close. Way back in 63BC the first speech was recorded by a scribe using shorthand. Ours is a long and noble profession, show everyone the historical significance of court reporting every time you take a sip.
Every attorney knows we can't take down nods of the head, grunts, and, of course, uh-huh and huh-uh. Yet at nearly every deposition they instruct witness not to use these non-words and expect us to put it in the transcript. This is a funny way to let attorneys know uh-huh and huh-uh are difficult no matter who's saying it.
Attorney's just don't realize that we have to actually use BOTH hands to do our job. This mug can say what you're really thinking when Mr. Jones asks if it's okay with you to have a working lunch.
Do you have what it takes? A lot of people think they're fast, but are they fast enough to do a Russian neurosurgeon who's had six cups of coffee? Didn't think so. Show everyone that you've got things covered. Because you've got speed.
Court reporters have the best briefs, and we know how to use them! This cheeky coffee cup is sure to get some eyebrows raised among those who have no idea what it's like to be a court reporter.
