The California Official Court Reporters Association (COCRA) will be holding their 2009 Spring Conference in downtown San Francisco at the Westfield San Francisco Center located right in the heart of the Union Square, San Francisco's premiere retail and restaurant district.

Scheduled seminars (subject to change) include a three hour hands-on course in which four of the major CR software companies including Advantage Software, Stenovations, ProCat, and Stenograph showcase the latest features of their software. Attendees will also get the opportunity to try out their stenowriters including the Mira, Passport, Stylus, and Lightspeed.

Other seminar topics include a panel discussion with members of the Court Reporters Board involving the topic of CSR disciplinary actions, legislative updates from Sacramento, and the return of our "County to County" in which panelists from different counties around the state share their latest news and issues.

We will also be hosting the California Certified Realtime Reporter (CCRR) exam. The CCRR is a certificate of realtime proficiency accessible to all California CSRs. CCRR is a realtime machine skills test designed to meet or exceed the proficiency levels promulgated by NCRA, but without the requirement of the RPR.
