reporter of decisions

reporter of decisions. The person responsible for publishing a court’s opinions. • The position began historically — in the years before systematic reporting of decisions was introduced — when lawyers attended the sessions of particular courts, were accredited to them by the judges, and reported the decisions of that court. Today, the reporter of decisions holds an administrative post as a court employee. The reporter often has duties that include verifying citations, correcting spelling and punctuation, and suggesting minor editorial improvements before judicial opinions are released or published. — Often shortened to reporter. — Also termed court reporter. See COURT REPORTER. [Cases: Courts 103; Reports

3. C.J.S. Courts §§ 170, 173–174, 176; Reports §§ 10–13.]
