History of USCRA
The United States Court Reporters Association has a rich history of serving the federal court reporting community. Founded to provide a professional home for federal official court reporters, USCRA has grown into the premier association for those working in the U.S. District Court system.
Over the decades, USCRA has established the Federal Certified Realtime Reporter (FCRR) certification program, launched the annual Realtime Speed Contest, and created a network of circuit representatives to ensure every federal court reporter has a voice in the association.
Today, USCRA continues to advocate for the profession, provide professional development opportunities, and foster the camaraderie that has been a hallmark of the organization since its founding.
