Responding to a critical shortage of court reporters, the Los Angeles Superior Court system has decided to restrict the proceedings where they will be automatically provided beginning this month. Starting Nov. 14, the court system will no longer provide court reporters for family law and probate matters, forcing litigants to pay an estimated $800 to $2,000 a day to hire their own reporters. The court instead will prioritize felony criminal and juvenile cases, which are required by law to have reporters in the courtroom.
