REOUEST FOR CIRCUIT COUNCIL APPROVAL
This is a request for authori71ltion, for a period not to exceed 36 months, to solicit
contracts for contract court reporters for the purpose of providing contract court reporting
services for the District Court for the District of Connecticut.
It has been determined that the number of official court reporters provided to the District
of Connecticut is insufficient to meet demands and needs and that the services of additional court
reporters should be provided for the judges of the court. In particular, the services of court
reporters should be provided on a contractual basis, rather than by appointment of additional
official court reporters, to senior and magistrate judges as these judges are performing substantial
judicial services for the District of Connecticut. In addition, the official court reporters are
located in three different courthouses, thereby making it nearly impossible for them to pool
services.
If this request is approved, the Court will employ the services of a contract court reporter
only if no official reporter is available, in accordance with the Court Reporter Management Plan
for the District Court for the District of Connecticut.
Dated at New Haven, Connecticut this 30 th day of November, 2017.
