Description/Educational Objectives: The State of California has mandated a move to the paperless courthouse. Court reporters will learn how to produce paperless transcripts from creating an ASCII to providing electronic distribution of PDF transcripts. With YesLaw, reporters deliver a highly functional PDF which includes automatic bookmarking, automatic creation of multi-volume master indexes, and easy secure delivery to all parties.
·      Installation and set-up of YesLaw software
·      Recommendations for output to paperless delivery
·       Overview of creating a YesLaw PDF from your ASCII output
·      Delivery options for Los Angeles Official reporters
·      What the delivery looks like and how to access online content
 
As a result of attendance at this seminar, the reporters will be able to recognize compound construction and punctuate it correctly, identify parentheticals and fragments and introductory elements, and punctuate them correctly.
