THE AUTHOR DISPUTES THE CLAIMS OF THE FORMER ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECTOR OF ALASKA'S COURT SYSTEM THAT ELECTRONIC REPORTING IS BOTH SUPERIOR AND MORE ECONOMICAL THAN THE TRADITIONAL COURT REPORTER.
Abstract
MAJOR DEFICIENCIES IN THE RECORDING SYSTEM ITSELF AS WELL AS IN THE NECESSARY TRANSCRIPTION PROCESS ARE ENUMERATED TO SUPPORT HIS STAND AGAINST REPLACING LIVE PROFESSIONAL COURT REPORTERS WITH TAPE RECORDERS IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS. FOR THE ARTICLE ON THE ALASKAN EXPERIMENT IN ELECTRONIC COURTROOM REPORTING, 'ALASKA'S TEN YEARS OF ELECTRONIC REPORTING', SEE NCJ-34616.
