The 14th Judicial District Court in Lake Charles, Louisiana is now accepting applications for a Certified Court Reporter to fulfill a roving reporter position
The position is for a full-time employee with full salary plus benefits package: retirement, insurance, vacation, sick leave, etc. Courts covered will be a mixture of Civil, Criminal, and from time to time some Domestic and Family court proceedings. The reporter will be required to take down and transcribe, as requested, verbatim records of judicial trials, conferences, hearings, or any other court proceedings as designated by the judge and may be held in open court, in chambers, and/or via Zoom. The new reporter will step into an already set yearly schedule with specific “typing weeks” designated to allow for ample time out of the courtroom to complete all transcript requests in a timely manner. Voice writer or machine writer certification only to be considered, real-time certifications are not required.
Please send resume to 14th JDC, P.O. Box 3210, Lake Charles, LA 70602 or email resume to ja@14jdc.org. The deadline for submission is June 30, 2021.
