Court Reporting Systems.

Abstract

The study analysis the advantages and disadvantages of various methods of producing complete, verbatim records of trial by courts-martial in the Army in the field, 1970-75. It concludes that the machine shorthand (stenotype) method, employing warrant officer court reporters, is faster and more reliable and can be operated with fewer personnel and less equipment, and at somewhat lower cost than the closed-microphone electronic recording (stenomask) system as presently authorized, and is comparable in cost to the present system when adjusted to provide more realistic personnel and equipment authorizations. Personnel and equipment requirements and costs can be reduced still further by creating a corps of highly qualified stenotype reporters assigned to the U.S. Army Judiciary. (Author)
