From true crime to petty crime - this is the memoir of one of Australia's most experienced court reporters. Longlisted in the True Crime category for the 2019 Davitt and Ned Kelly Awards. As a seasoned court reporter, the ABC's Jamelle Wells has filed thousands of stories on murderers, sex offenders, thieves, bad drivers, family feuds and business deals gone wrong. In more than 10 years, Jamelle has witnessed many of Australia's most notorious and high-profile court cases. In the line of duty, she has sat next to criminals and their families, been chased, spat on, stalked and carted off by ambulance for emergency surgery after an accident outside ICAC. Every day in courts across Australia the evidence, facts and theories are played out in a kind of theatre, with their own characters, costumes and traditions. But ever-present is the human tragedy of ordinary people's lives disrupted, destroyed and forever altered. The judges, the lawyers and barristers, the witnesses and the victims -- all striving to play their part in the quest for fairness, justice and always, the truth of what really happened. From the calculated and cruel, to the unfair and unlucky, from pure evil to plain stupid -- Jamelle Wells has seen it all. The Court Reporter is a tough and fearless journalist's memoir that looks at the cases that have shocked, moved and never left us. Praise for Jamelle Wells: 'Jamelle Wells has put justice in the dock. The Court Reporter raises important questions about the administration of the criminal justice system, not only in NSW but nationwide.' Michael Sexton, The Australian 'Frank reporting.' Steven Carroll, The Sydney Morning Herald 'Vivid and gripping. I had to read it in one go.' Richard Glover, ABC Drive 'The Court Reporter is a great read and will be quickly devoured by anyone with an interest in journalism and true crime.' Dr Rachel Franks, Academia Review 'A brilliant book with amazing stories.' Sarah Harris, Studio Ten
Have you ever wondered what to do in situations that happen during various proceedings from hearings to depositions? What beginning and end pages do you use? What do you do with the exhibits? When you're a new reporter, especially, you may be terrified if something out of the ordinary happens.

Written by educators -- who understand and address the true needs and trepidations of readers -- this book offers a pedagogically sound introduction to court reporting that enables readers to write new material with little hesitation, throughout. Each lesson is divided into a theory presentation section and a drill and practice section. It incorporates realtime writing principles throughout (i.e., the technology that allows court reporters to write and have their notes translated by a computer in realtime); organizes realtime theory principles in distinct, easy-to-locate sections. Separates the realtime theory principles from the regular theory presentation -- enabling instructors to delay the introduction of realtime principles until readers are comfortable with writing the basic theory principles.

Official court reporting in American courtrooms was brought about by the skill, dedication, and determination of a remarkable group of pioneer shorthand writers. Many of them were reformers, some were entrepreneurs, and others were inventors, writers, artists, and scientists. All of them were gifted shorthand professionals whose work made legal proceedings more reliable, more efficient, and fairer. Using a variety of sources including 19th century newspapers, shorthand periodicals, records of shorthand associations, county histories and government reports and records, Herbert C. Hallas explains how official court reporting got its start in the United States and tells the stories of eleven pioneer court reporters whose work ensured that official court reporting would become a key component in the American pursuit of due process of law.
A collection of fifteen writings, including stories or vignettes (some simply slices of life and some of a more intricate nature) based on cases and happenings drawn from the author's ten years as a court reporter for the City of Washington, D.C. Actual edited courtroom testimony is often incorporated in the stories. The stories are intense, the people in extremis. These are punctuated by short essay-like reflections intended to provide context by supplying underlying root causes of crime, plus factors that impact our judicial system.
