Punctuation for Court Reporters by Nathaniel Weiss is a hard-to-find punctuation reference written specifically for the court reporting profession. Published by the National Court Reporters Association, this compact guide focuses on punctuation decisions that matter in legal transcripts, testimony, realtime editing, proofreading, and transcript production.

Unlike a general punctuation book, this reference is aimed at the way punctuation is used in spoken-word material. Court reporters do not simply punctuate polished writing; they must punctuate questions, answers, interruptions, incomplete thoughts, colloquial speech, testimony, and legal proceedings in a way that is accurate, readable, and professionally acceptable.

Older NCRA reference books like this can be difficult to find, especially in usable condition. This is a valuable addition to a court reporting reference library for students, working reporters, scopists, proofreaders, captioners, CART providers, and transcript editors.
