Court Reporting Requirements In Connecticut
According to CourtReporterEdu.org, the following are requirements for becoming a court reporter in Connecticut: (1) Complete a court reporting degree/certificate program.
(2) Take the Connecticut exam for licensure: This exam is given by the Connecticut Court Reporter’s Association. There is a fee to take the test, which consists of an 1-hour 100-question written knowledge test, and a skills examination. The CCRA’s skills exam is comprised of 2 180 lits, 2 200 jury charges, and 2 225 2-voice Q&As. It should be noted that the RPR and any comparable state exam can reportedly be substituted for the CCRA’s test requirement.
(3) Complete an application for Connecticut licensure. The application is accompanied by an almost $300 fee.
(4) For license renewal and maintenance, there must be earned continuing education credits as well as an additional fee.

Rules Of Grammar: Perspective vs. Prospective
Prospective is defined as: Something that is likely to happen in the future; or, likely to become.
Perspective refers to a view. It is defined in the following ways: “(1) The technique or process of representing on a plane or curved surface the spatial relation of objects as they might appear to the eye; specifically representation in a drawing or painting of parallel lines as converging in order to give the illusion of depth and distance. (2) The interrelation in which a subject or its parts are mentally viewed; point of view. (3) The capacity to view things in their true relations or relative importance. (4) A visible scene; especially one giving a distinctive impression of distance. (5) A mental view or prospect. (6) The appearance to the eye of objects in respect to their relative distance and positions.
