UNLIMITED CIVIL COURTROOM SCHEDULE & REQUIREMENTS

CIVIL COURT REPORTER POOLING (Click Here)

PLEASE NOTE: Effective February 2, 2015, all unlimited civil courtrooms, including the civil
complex courtrooms, will shift from one-to-one assignment of a court reporter to a civil courtroom
for all hearings to a system where court reporters are assigned to a courtroom as needed for trials
and other matters in which oral evidence will be presented.

Use your Web Browsers Find/Search functions (Ctl-F) to find the Judge by last name or by
Department number.
