South Carolina Supreme Court Reconstitutes Court Reporter Advisory Committee

Date: August 26, 2026
Status: CONFIRMED — official court order

The South Carolina Supreme Court issued an order appointing a new Court Reporter Advisory Committee, effective immediately.

The committee includes representatives from stenography, mask/digital reporting and digital court reporting, including members designated as Steno, Mask, DCR I and DCR II. The order also includes the president and vice president of the South Carolina Court Reporter Association as members.

Why it matters

This is more significant than a routine personnel announcement. The committee provides a formal channel for court reporters and the South Carolina Court Reporter Association to participate in matters affecting the state's court-reporting system.

The composition is also notable because it brings stenographic and digital reporting perspectives into the same advisory structure.

Greenberg Traurig Deploys Thomson Reuters' Agentic AI

Date: August 26, 2026
Status: CONFIRMED — Thomson Reuters

Greenberg Traurig has deployed the next generation of Thomson Reuters CoCounsel Legal across its global offices.

The system is described as agentic AI capable of planning, researching and drafting across a legal matter. The rollout follows a four-year collaboration between Greenberg Traurig and Thomson Reuters.

Why it matters to reporters

This isn't specifically a court-reporting announcement, but it matters to the entire litigation ecosystem.

Law firms are moving beyond AI that simply answers questions. AI is increasingly being integrated into the actual workflow of a legal matter.

That makes transcripts, exhibits, testimony, recordings and other litigation records increasingly valuable as structured information that AI systems can analyze.

NLRB Court-Reporting RFI Hits Its Deadline

Date: August 26, 2026
Status: CONFIRMED — federal procurement

The National Labor Relations Board's nationwide Court Reporting Services Request for Information reached its August 26 response deadline.

The RFI sought industry input on a potential nationwide program covering in-person, remote and hybrid court reporting, transcript production, exhibit handling and digital recording support.

The NLRB specifically asked vendors about AI and automation, transcript integrity, quality assurance, security, technical failures, geographic coverage and pricing structures.

Why it matters

This may be one of the most important recent federal signals about where court reporting is headed.

The government isn't simply asking:

“Who can provide reporters?”

It is asking the industry what a modern reporting system should look like.

The RFI is not a contract award and not a solicitation. It is market research, so no future contract should be assumed.

Why it matters

The fact that court-reporting AI and digital reporting are now being presented together as a dedicated legal-education topic is itself noteworthy.

The industry conversation has moved beyond “Will AI replace reporters?”

It's becoming:

How should lawyers and reporters use AI?

What are the ethical limitations?

What should be digitally recorded?

Who is responsible for the record?

Where does human verification fit?
