English Guide for Court Reporters

by Lillian I. Morson

Morson's English Guide for Court Reporters, by renowned English expert Lillian Morson, presents the fundamental rules for punctuating acceptable syntax and then goes a step further and presents verbatim English as found in courtroom transcripts and modifies the rules to accommodate this English. The grammar section and glossary offer a look at the way we name and define the elements in a sentence so that we can better understand standard word usage, spelling and punctuation. Morson's English Guide for Court Reporters is an aid to both the new and the experienced court reporter and scopist in their attempts to reproduce the court records accurately and logically.
