Re: AOC Court Reporters & Approved Transcriptionist List
The following is an alphabetical list of persons authorized and approved to prepare transcripts of
proceedings in the Courts of all counties of the State of North Carolina, both from electronic recordings
made by the Clerk in District Court and from records kept by Official Court Reporters in Superior Court. It
includes both Resident and Roving Official Court Reporters and Transcriptionists as well as court reporting
technicians who can provide information about court records and assist in arrangements for transcription
even though they cannot usually produce transcripts. AOC does not endorse any individual on the list as
more qualified than another but certifies that each has attained the requisite understanding and experience
to prepare certified verbatim transcripts in accordance with the applicable rules in the Courts of North
Carolina.
For clarification, most individuals have attained various certifications, including Registered Professional
Reporter (RPR), Certified Verbatim Reporter (CVR), Registered Merit Reporter (RMR), Certified Verbatim
Reporter - Certificate of Merit (CVR-CM), Certified Realtime Reporter (CRR), Realtime Verbatim Reporter
(RVR), and/or North Carolina Judicial Transcriptionist (NCJT). These are indicated with the appropriate
initials after an individual’s name.
It should also be understood that, because of varying workloads, it cannot be assumed that any person
listed will accept a particular case at any given time. Individuals should be contacted ahead of time and
allowed the opportunity to either accept or decline an assignment based on their current pending caseload
at that time.
Questions concerning this list should be directed to the Court Reporting Management at
CRManager@nccourts.org or 919-890-1601.
Sincerely,
David E. Jester, CVR-M
