TITLE 15 COURTS

Section 14. Court Reporters, 15-14-1 through 15-14-37.

ARTICLE 2 TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION

15-14-21. Purpose.

It is declared by the General Assembly that the practice of court reporting carries important responsibilities in connection with the administration of justice, both in and out of the courts; that court reporters are officers of the courts; and that the right to define and regulate the practice of court reporting belongs naturally and logically to the judicial branch of the state government. Therefore, in recognition of these principles, the purpose of this article is to act in aid of the judiciary so as to ensure minimum proficiency in the practice of court reporting by recognizing and conferring jurisdiction upon the Judicial Council of Georgia to define and regulate the practice of court reporting.

(Ga. L. 1974, p. 345, § 2; Ga. L. 1993, p. 1315, § 7.)

JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Judicial Council of Georgia and Board of Court Reporting were part of the judiciary and therefore excluded from coverage.

- Judicial Council of Georgia and the Board of Court Reporting of the Judicial Council of Georgia fell within "the judiciary," as that term was used in O.C.G.A. § 50-13-2(1) of the Administrative Procedure Act, and therefore were exempt from the coverage of the Act and immune from a suit challenging a court reporter ethics rule the board adopted. Judicial Council v. Brown & Gallo, LLC, 288 Ga. 294, 702 S.E.2d 894 (2010).
