Florida Supreme Court Adopts "Standards of Operation and Best Practices for Court Reporting Services"

The Florida Supreme Court entered Administrative Order AOSC10-01, In re: Court Reporting Services In Florida's Trial Courts.  The order is the result of a commission created in 2002 titled Commission on Trial Court Performance and Accountability.  As a result of In Re: Commission on Trial Court Performance and Accountability, No. AOSC06-54 (Fla. Sept. 19, 2006), the Commission was "directed to make recommendations on the effective and efficient management of due process services with a focus on clarifying the legal and operational issues arising from the use of digital technology and with developing operational standards and best practices for providing court reporting services."  Subsequently, "in In Re: Commission on Trial Court Performance and Accountability, No. AOSC08-32 (Fla. Aug. 15, 2008), the Commission was directed to continue with the development and implementation of standards of operation and best practices for the major elements of Florida’s trial courts." 

The Commission submitted reports to the Florida Supreme Court in July 2007 and November 2009 which led to the Court's entry of Administrative Order AOSC10-01.  Incorporated into the order is an exhibit titled "Standards of Operation and Best Practices for Court Reporting Services in Florida’s Trial Courts."  The order is below:
