Overview
Mission
The united states court reporters association is the professional association dedicated to promoting the use of official court reporters in courtrooms of the u.s. District courts and advocating for the interests of those federal official court reporters. This is done in several ways, including offering conventions at which members may earn required continuing education points, creating and administering realtime certification examinations that qualify recipients for increased base salary, and communication with the administrative office of the u.s. Courts on behalf of all federal official court reporters. Communication with members is accomplished through electronic communications as well as a magazine that is created and published twice a year.
What it reported doing in 2025
In 2025, uscra sponsored two conventions at which members were able to earn continuing education units necessary to maintain professional certifications. The midyear convention was offered virtually on april 5, 2025, and the annual convention was an in-person event october 10-12, 2025, in pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Each convention required uscra to locate and pay for qualified speakers. In addition, the pittsburgh, Pennsylvania convention required travel expense reimbursement for speakers. All members are eligible to register for the conventions. There were 134 registrants for the virtual midyear convention and 69 registrants for the annual convention in pittsburgh.
