Preference Sheet submission for Court Reporters

This is a time-consuming task, but your finished product will be reflective of the answers you provide so it is important to both of us and will save time in the long-run. A space will be provided at the end of the preference sheet for you to provide any additional information that you feel is important to note.

Please also e-mail a very long and complicated sample job that has been completed to your satisfaction that can be put into the CAT program and can be pulled up within the program at the same time as the job being worked on. A sample job will often cover things, such as parentheticals, that are not included in the preference sheet.
