Chief Justice Directive 05-03
Amended June, 2009
SUPREME COURT OF COLORADO
OFFICE OF THE CHIEF JUSTICE
MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR COURT REPORTING AND RECORDING SERVICES
II. COURT REPORTER RESPONSIBILITIES
A. RPR Certification
1. All court reporters hired shall be RPR certified unless the district is unable to hire an acceptable certified reporter within three
months of posting the position. If the district hires a non-certified reporter, that reporter must become RPR certified within two years of
hire. Non-certified reporters may be used on a per case basis if certified reporters are not available.
2. All certified court reporters must maintain certification by completing three continuing education units (CEUs) every three years and
maintaining certification status with National Court Reporters Association (NCRA).
3. Current Colorado Certified Shorthand Reporters (CSRs) must obtain RPR certification within two years of the signing of this CJD as
amended (June 2009).
4. Current court reporters that are uncertified upon signing of this CJD as amended (June 2009) shall have two years to obtain
certification and will be placed on a two-year performance plan to assist the reporter in obtaining certification.
5. Failure to obtain or maintain RPR certification may be grounds for corrective or disciplinary action in accordance with the Colorado
Judicial System Personnel Rules.
B. Realtime Certification
Realtime reporting can help to alleviate the problems of late transcripts; assist trial judges in deciding issues faster by seeing and
keeping the Realtime notes for review and having text files for their use for the preparation of their orders; allow reporters to get the
bulk of transcript work done as they are reporting; and enable all reporting staff to be at the same or similar level of skill. Therefore:
1. All current RPR certified court reporters shall become Realtime certified by July 1, 2011.
2. All current non-certified court reporters shall become Realtime certified by July 1, 2012.
3. RPR certified court reporters hired after the effective date of this CJD as amended shall become Realtime certified within four
years of their date of hire by the Judicial Branch.
4. Non-certified court reporters hired after the effective date of this CJD as amended shall become Realtime certified within five years
of their date of hire by the Judicial Branch.
5. Court reporters who are able to perform Realtime services may attain official status as a Colorado Certified Realtime Reporter by
meeting one of the three following requirements:
a. Pass the NCRA Certified Realtime Reporter (CRR) test, which among other things, requires completion at 96 percent accuracy or
b. Take the NCRA CRR test and complete it at 94 percent accuracy (the Colorado standard) or
c. Pass the Federal Certified Realtime Reporter (FCRR) test.
