Court reporters who work as official reporters for the courts get their jobs through the same hiring rules used for other Kansas court employees. This means there's no separate or special process just for court reporters. Instead, they are appointed following the standard personnel rules that apply across the Kansas court system.
If you're wondering how someone becomes an official court reporter, the answer is that it works like most other court staff positions. The Kansas Court Personnel System sets the requirements and procedures, and court reporters must meet those same standards to be appointed to the role.
