1HOUSE RESOLUTION

2 WHEREAS, The Illinois Court Reporters Association (ILCRA) 

3is the sole statewide association of freelance and official 

4court reporters in Illinois, with professional membership 

5exclusively comprised of licensed certified shorthand 

6reporters (CSRs), individuals who are highly trained and 

7skilled and ethically bound to write in real time each word 

8spoken at hearings, trials, arbitrations, and depositions; and

9 WHEREAS, Illinois licensed CSRs, also known as 

10stenographers, are the only professionals in Illinois for whom 

11the title "court reporter" is reserved by State statute; and

12 WHEREAS, Court reporters write shorthand at 225 words per 

13minute, and often much faster, to create the verbatim record 

14upon which the courts and counsel rely as the gold standard of 

15transcripts of proceedings and from which discrete case law 

16and citations derive; and

17 WHEREAS, Court reporters write each word spoken at legal 

18proceedings in Illinois using phonetic alphabetic keyboards on 

19stenographic machines that store the shorthand verbatim notes 

20on redundant electronic text backup so that the courts, 

21counsel, litigants, and defendants can rest assured that the 

22accurate, full record of proceedings is safe and secure not

2the testimony being altered, publicly disseminated, or 

3entirely lost through the vulnerabilities of unlicensed audio 

4recorder operators who do not possess the inimitable skills of 

5CSRs; and
