Totally get it and admire your ethics. Maybe she'll read this and reevaluate her decision. That's the high road you are on, my friend.

<p>I agree with you in spirit, but I'm going to just take this as a lesson learned. This is a very small agency owned by a former reporter. The attorney is from a huge law firm - they used to have a lot more clients from this firm because they provide excellent, personal service, but a lot of them went over to one of the big national depo mills, so she's trying to hang onto this particular attorney.

She made a business decision and didn't consult you... She owes you money. You are a licensed court reporter and have rights over your work product. There is a standard in this industry that you get paid for copies. Please make a complaint to the CA Boardbfor failure to pay if she won't pay and we know it's the right thing to do, then notify the Board for help. They will hopefully educate her.

<p>Well, I would have said all the above if our client had contacted me when opposing counsel first demanded the transcripts be posted on the JAMS website. But I am not the owner of the agency, and the other reporter and I only found out about this after the fact when she was contacted directly by opposing counsel wanting to know when the last 2 days were going to be posted, after the agency owner posted all the other days.</p>

<p>NO WAY!!! I handle a lot of these arbitrations and this issue has come up. I have always stood up for myself when I had to. My client usually understands the issue and intercedes now that I've educated them. All that's required is they offer a copy of the final transcript excerpt in context to all parties that they are quoting. I love when JAMS arbitrators tell me I'm not the final record, their notes are, and then ask me to send them a copy of a witness' testimony. Hockeypuck!!! The…</p>

I love when JAMS arbitrators tell me I'm not the final record, their notes are, and then ask me to send them a copy of a witness' testimony. Hockeypuck!!! The only thing I have conceded to is sending a final copy to the JAMS administrator for their records once the final award is rendered... and not sooner. My transcript is the "work product" of the attorney who paid for it. For extra security, I have had requested an expedite so they can quote a final transcript with a certificate attached. There's not much a retired court judge can argue with on that. Not that they won't try. Stand tough.

<p>Since JAMS isn't a public court, I wonder if Ca Gov Code section</p>
<p>doesn't apply (assuming you're in California)</p>
<p></p>
<p>California Government Code Section 69954 (d) states: "Any party or person who has purchased a transcript may, without paying a further fee to the reporter, reproduce a copy of portion thereof as an exhibit pursuant to court order or rule, or for internal use, *****but shall not otherwise provide or sell a copy or copies to any other party or person."*****</p>

<p>This is terrible. Figures; seems to be no end to the ways attorneys try to jilt us out of our hard-earned money. I don't take arbitrations because I don't like the stuffy atmosphere. I do know you make more money off of them, however. I sure hope if I did take an arbitration, my agency would not allow this nonsense to take place. </p>
