Oct. 27 | Realtime Court Reporting – Write it Clean the First Time presented by Saba McKinley, RPR, CRI (CEU: 0.10)
What does it take to produce accurate, readable realtime and make it an integral part of your court reporting career?
Join the National Court Reporters Foundation (NCRF) for this free-for-members Ask Me Anything ZoomUp featuring Saba McKinley, RPR, CRI. The interactive session will take a closer look at realtime court reporting with an opportunity for attendees to ask questions and gain practical insight from an experienced professional.
Whether you’re a student working toward your first realtime job, a new professional looking to strengthen your skills, or an experienced reporter interested in refining your realtime writing, this session will offer an opportunity to learn, connect, and ask the questions that matter.
McKinley emphasizes that successful realtime is about much more than writing quickly.
“Realtime writing isn’t about speed,” she says. “It’s about deciding that every word you put on that screen matters for accuracy and readability. The reporters who lead this profession aren’t the fastest — they’re the ones who never stopped caring what the transcript looked like. And they make that decision every single day.”
Bring your questions about realtime writing, accuracy, readability, building confidence, and developing the habits that can help you produce high-quality work.
Oct 28 | Navigating Challenging Conversations in a Legal Context presented by Kelly Collins, PhD, and Tisa Mitchell (CEU: 0.15)
Because equity and diversity work requires genuine self-reflection and careful listening, this live session explores the tools needed to handle such moments gracefully. Participants will learn how to recognize their own internal triggers, bring greater nuance to their underlying intentions, and lean into active listening when interactions get tough.
“Challenging conversations are part of working in any legal environment,” says presenter Kelly Collins, PhD, Director of Education at the University of Minnesota’s Office for Equity and Diversity. “This session will give participants practical tools for responding thoughtfully in the moment, and creating more inclusive interactions and professional spaces. Participants will leave this session with greater awareness of how to address challenging interpersonal dynamics that often arise in legal settings and, most importantly, practical strategies for navigating these moments with greater confidence, care, and respect. We’ll have opportunities to practice responding to real-world scenarios so participants can translate the conversation into action in their own work.”
