Court Reporting Services

Background

TSA's Office of Chief Counsel participates in legal proceedings in which a verbatim transcript is required. These proceedings include employment litigation before the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), civil enforcement proceedings involving fines for violations of transportation security regulations before a Coast Guard Administrative Law Judge, and the adjudication of government contract performance disputes and contract award protests before the Federal Aviation Administration's Office of Dispute Resolution for Acquisitions. Generally, court reporting services will be needed for depositions conducted during the discovery phase of the litigation. Additionally, court reporting may be required for the legal proceeding itself. In the case of hearings before the EEOC, federal regulations require TSA to provide the court reporting services for the duration of the proceeding.
