Our quarterly e-newsletter, The Court Reporter, updates us on legislative issues and industry news. Technology reviews inform us on new products and developments. On-line Directories list members nationwide. National networking opportunities become available, including Internet access to AAERT resources.  Certain supplier discounts and special manufacturers' offers may be offered. Professional liability and disability group insurance plans are available. An annual E-Reporting and E-Transcribing Conference offers opportunities for continuing education, networking, and planning, and gives professionals a voice on specific issues. CER and CET certification testing is conducted semiannually in selected cities, for both analog and digital practitioners. The Certification Test Study Guide is a comprehensive manual for all E-Reporting / Transcribing professionals. Our Government Relations Committee works to break down legislative barriers on a national and state basis.
