Electronic Reporting

On June 12th COCRA and CCRA asked for The Deposition Reporters Association's help with contacting our Senate Representatives in Sacramento to urge their NO vote on the Senate's ER expansion proposal. DRA got the word out immediately. Within one day, both Senators' offices responded that our message had been received LOUD and CLEAR and to please stop the calls!! This was grassroots at its best. We appreciate all of you who took the time to call and register your concern and opposition to ER expansion. DRA will continue to protect our profession by joining in the fight against ER through every available means. Stay tuned for further information on how YOU can help.

THE RESULTS:

VICTORY FOR CALIFORNIA REPORTERS IN THE FIGHT AGAINST E.R.!

DRA has just learned that the Senate's proposal to expand electronic recording in the California courts was rejected! Many thanks to each of you who heeded our urgent message to call your senators and register your concerns and opposition to the expansion of E.R. It worked! Many thanks also to COCRA and CCRA for their vigilance and tireless efforts.

THE FORCE OF ALL THREE STATE ASSOCIATIONS UNITING FOR A COMMON CAUSE IS VERY POWERFUL!

The E.R. danger is over for the moment, but this issue will remain on our radar. Rest assured that DRA will diligently continue to monitor this issue and lend our help as needed in the battle to keep live reporters working in the courts. Thank you for all your support!
