An Act to Ensure Ethical Standards for Court Reporters
The MeCRA Board, in conjunction with the Maine Trial Lawyers Association, worked on a bill to enact legislation that will protect our state from outside contracting. This issue is important to not only us but the lawyers we work with and the litigants they serve.
We are pleased to announce that Governor LePage has signed the bill, and the bill became law on Monday, October 7, 2013.
