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 | Flag
Marge, 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 | Flag

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.

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