AAERT-certified professionals commonly transcribe or digitally record legal proceedings such as depositions, court hearings, trials, and administrative meetings. In addition, they may produce written transcripts of interviews, board meetings, and other official recordings required by attorneys, law enforcement, or public agencies. These tasks are crucial for creating an official record, which can be referenced in legal cases, appeals, or compliance reviews. The ability to handle confidential information and produce accurate, timely work is highly valued in these roles. Working closely with attorneys, judges, and court personnel is typical, so strong communication and professional etiquette are important.
