Depo Transcript Fundamentals + ASR Scoping

Learn how to format deposition transcripts and master the skills required to scope effectively on any platform. This course does not cover federal formatting requirements required for AAERT exams.

This course will provide general formatting rules for creating a transcript for depositions and other non-court legal proceedings.
