Job description

The United States District Court for the Southern District of Alabama is currently accepting applications for a full-time Official Court Reporter. This permanent position requires scheduled hours of Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. and is located in the Clerk’s Office in Mobile, Alabama. The Official Court Reporter reports to the Chief Deputy Clerk. This position will be subject to a six-month probationary period.


In addition to the starting salary for court reporters set by the Judicial Conference, an Official Court Reporter is entitled to transcript fees from any party who has contracted with the court reporter for transcript services. Review further information at this link: Federal Court Reporter Program transcripts. 


Official court reporters record each session of the Court and every other proceeding designated by rule or order of the Court or by a district court judge, magistrate judge, or land commissioner. All proceedings are reported using electronic machine shorthand equipment and electronic storage media capable of translation and printing by computer-assisted transcription equipment. Electronic sound recording equipment may be used to augment this primary source of reporting cases. Court reporters are generally required to travel occasionally within the district.
