This article is part two of a two-part summary of an interview with four veteran court reporters who met with the author to discuss what they really think about the courtroom, judges, and lawyers. For ease of reading, and because all four agreed to talk so long as they were not identified by name, Judge Panter has combined their comments, but all the quoted text came from one of the court reporters.
