4/22/2010 9:34:06 PM How common is it to have a call for a court reporter to cover a deposition without any warning - as in, an hour's notice? |

![]() | It happens a lot that the attorney forgot to order a court reporter or sometimes the agency screwed up. I've taken many last-minute jobs over the years. If you're not booked, It pays to shower the night before just in case! |

Would like to be able to edit answers. - Marge Teilhaber 5/13/2010 9:38:39 PM | FlagMarge, I know... Sometimes I get trigger happy with my posts and accidentally leave typos which, as reporters, are like sins. I'm working on it! And thanks for the feedback. - Todd Olivas 5/15/2010 2:08:03 PM | FlagAnytime, Todd! - Marge Teilhaber 5/15/2010 11:50:45 PM | Flag... it pays to shower the night before just in case. LOL!

Emergency depositions happen fairly regularly; it's not all that unusual. |

Because depos happen in the discovery phase of the case and not during the trial, it's not altogether uncommon to find that there's a call into the Calendar Department requesting that a court reporter take the testimony as soon as possible. |

It is very common. |

And you will make agencies and sometimes their very good clients, very, very happy in a way that neither tends to forget. |
