Thanks, Judy ~ I don't think paragraphing and indenting is padding either ~ it's compensation for looking and relooking and finding quotes in docs. I am definitely going to start paragraphing as per how you do it :)<br />
<br />
In the transcript I just finished, I had all the docs, but the spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalization, etc (what's left:) was horrendous. Half the time the atty reading would correct it himself as he read (as far as wrong words), but I couldn't bring myself to put in all…

Half the time the atty reading would correct it himself as he read (as far as wrong words), but I couldn't bring myself to put in all the errors from the quoted material in the transcript, but I felt it needed to be quoted because of how the depo went. I swear it felt like a third of it was quoted material ~ and it was over 300 pages long.<br />
<br />
So thank you, Amanda, for the reporter's note suggestion. I put that in right at the beginning, with a little tweaking so it said:<br />
(REPORTER'S NOTE: Quotation marks indicate as-read material, not necessarily the direct/exact quote from the document.) I used to work with another r…tag:csrnation.ning.com,2009-11-11:1736041:Comment:11093972009-11-11T08:55:24.397ZJennie Annhttps://csrnation.ning.com/profile/Jennie
I used to work with another reporter who had a reporter's note on the Contents page about the en/em dash.<br />
<br />
I can't remember it verbatim today, but it was in brackets and went something like this:<br />
<br />
[Nota Bene: The en/em dash does not signify an omission of testimony....]<br />
<br />
That's all I can remember. I always liked that expression, "Nota Bene."<br />
<br />
Here is its meaning: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nota_bene" target="_blank">Meaning of "Nota Bene"</a><br />

This reporter was a real old-school reporter. I learned a lot from him. Another term he used at the end of a court hearing, when the next court date was not determined, was "sine die."<br />
<br />
He'd put this at the end of the transcript:<br />
<br />
[Whereupon, at 3:30 p.m., the hearing was adjourned, to reconvene sine die.]<br />
<br />
Again, from Wikipedia: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sine_die" target="_blank">Meaning of "sine die"</a><br />
<br />
It's funny the things that I can still remember when I used to do legal stuff. :-) If it's so complicated like t…tag:csrnation.ning.com,2009-11-11:1736041:Comment:11093742009-11-11T03:42:37.993ZS. Ariellehttps://csrnation.ning.com/profile/Arielle
If it's so complicated like that then don't put any quotes because how are you going to really know where they go? I just wouldn't quote and you will save hours of headaches

I'm not a fan of padding a transcript, but that's not padding. They throw something at us like that, we should be compensated fairly, IMHO.

That's what I do, Judy, for all quotes. Definitely helps the page count and it's only right, as you say. And for those deps with constant reading from documents, it really makes up for all the extra work dealing with breakneck speed of reading.

I would paragraph, double indent, and quote that type of stuff. If it's causing you that much trouble, you deserve to be compensated with a few more pages, you know?

Yeah, I put the P R O C E E D I N G S centered on line 1 of the text. Lines 2 and 3 I have my parenthetical reporter's note. This is where I stick the paren if they mark exhibits ahead of time, too. If vid, then the videographer's remarks, and any other statements next. Then I put the sworn blurb, and we're off to the races.

Well, now you have the benefit of his preference. Yeah, I think you <u>are</u> going to like it! But you know what? The totally indecipherable rushed slurring and and/in and the/a drive me so batty that I'd probably be looking closely at the quoted material nevertheless. But at least the parts that are fairly decipherable you can quote (and double indent of course) and not bothering finding it in the exhibits.<br />

Very interesting your reporter's note. Will keep that in mind. "As read" is perfect…

I don't have a P R O C E E D I N G S line in the transcript (except for the title page). Where do you put the reporter's note in relation to the witness sworn blurb?
