Welcome to CSR Nation

Digital Court Reporter Job.....

Joseph Leone sent this to me personally. I don't think he meant to do that. I'm posting it for him because I think it's an important discussion for all my members. Very concerning to say the least.

I stumbled across a job solicitation on Indeed.com by way of Craigslist.com (Long Island, NY)

Seems there is an entity located in East Islip, NY, advertising jobs for court reporter notaries to conduct digital recording depositions throughout the metropolitan NYC area. It was posted by someone by the name of Karen Koster, I think, don't remember the last name clearly.

Starting pay 36K a year -- a little bit more than a barista at Starbucks. I have not been able to track down any more info other than the job posting. I don't know if Indeed is just an info gathering mill, kinda the NSA of internet want ads or not but that's what I found. Very disturbing. I sent in an "interested" reply. Haven't heard anything back.

If anyone out there is in contact with NYSCRA they may be interested or even Dom Tursi may like to look into it.

I will try to find out more. Thought someone out here may be able to find out more than I have been able to find out.

It sure is disturbing. But it's NY, so nothing surprises me. We can continue to pray that these low-level uncertified, and mostly unaffiliated people do horrible work.
