Federal Court Reporter - Rome, GA

Position Reference: 01CLFCJ003

CLFC is building its Georgia court reporting roster to support federal deposition and proceeding coverage across the Northern District. We contract and self-perform this work, and reporters on the roster are named to the Government with their credentials attached.

The roster is non-exclusive. Most of our reporters carry their own clients and add CLFC federal assignments alongside an existing caseload. You keep full control of your calendar.

Engagement model: appearance plus transcript, the standard freelance deposition structure. This is not a flat-hourly digital reporting role and it is not a salaried court position.

Schedule: assignment based. You accept or decline each assignment based on your own availability.

Key Responsibilities

• Capture a complete, certified and accurate verbatim record.
• Provide realtime transcription where the proceeding requires it.
• Administer the oath as a commissioned notary in the state of performance.
• Attach the reporter certification to each original transcript in the form the contract prescribes.
• Produce certified transcripts to contract format and turnaround standards, including expedited tiers.
• Maintain a documented chain of custody for all notes, media and exhibits.
• Deliver transcripts through secure, encrypted channels within the required turnaround.
• Maintain confidentiality in secure and grand jury adjacent settings.
• Coordinate scheduling, claims and confirmations through the CLFC BRIDGE App.

Required Qualifications

• Georgia Certified Court Reporter (CCR) in good standing. Georgia law requires a certified court reporter for depositions taken in the state.
• Active notary commission in the state of performance.
• Qualified in verbatim capture and computer aided transcription.
• U.S. citizen or national, or lawful permanent resident seeking citizenship, with U.S. residency for at least 3 of the last 5 years, for Department of Justice suitability.
• Ability to pass a federal background investigation where the assignment requires it.
• Availability to travel to assignment locations within the assigned Georgia markets.

Georgia recognises NCRA, NVRA and AAERT national certification as pathways to the CCR. Stenographic, voice writing and digital reporters who hold a current Georgia CCR are all eligible for this roster.

Strongly Preferred Qualifications

• Registered Professional Reporter (RPR), Registered Merit Reporter (RMR) or Certified Realtime Reporter (CRR).
• Realtime transcription experience in federal proceedings.
• Experience supporting a U.S. Attorney's Office or U.S. District Court.
• Experience working alongside a legal videographer on a synchronised record.
• Availability across more than one of the five Georgia locations.

Compensation and Engagement Details

• $78,000 to $92,000 annually.
• Independent Contractor (1099) engagement, assignment based.
• Travel reimbursed per contract and assignment terms.
• Assignments are offered as they arise and are not guaranteed. You accept or decline each one.
• Assignment dispatch, claims, confirmations and invoicing handoff are managed through the CLFC BRIDGE App, so scheduling and paperwork stay off your desk.
• We are glad to walk through the full compensation structure and how assignments are paid when we speak.
