Student Breakfast at True Food Kitchen in Edison hosted by Diane DiTizii, CCRA-NJ Treasurer
We're excited to announce an inspiring Student Breakfast as part of this year's Court Reporting and Captioning Week! Join us on Saturday, February 7, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. at the vibrant True Food Kitchen in Edison. Hosted by our very own Diane DiTizii, CCRA-NJ Treasurer, this event is a fantastic opportunity for students to connect, learn, and engage with fellow aspiring court reporters and captioners.
Encourage the students you know to take advantage of this wonderful gathering, where they'll gain invaluable insights and network with professionals in the field. Let's uplift the next generation of court reporting and captioning talent together. Save the date, spread the word, and ensure your students don't miss out on this enriching experience!
We look forward to a morning of inspiration and community. RSVP soon to Diane DiTizii at [email protected]!

We know how busy you are, so we'll keep this quick and simple:  We need you to renew your CCRA-NJ membership if we are to thrive and survive!

Since 1938, the Certified Court Reporters Association of New Jersey has been serving its members to advance our profession.  But the hard truth is, now, more than 85 years later, we face challenges in the industry that threaten our very existence. We've all heard about the threat of digitals and AI, but the real threat to our very existence is our dwindling membership.

CCRA-NJ has been instrumental in helping to fight the New Jersey Department of Labor's efforts to recategorize our current status as independent contractors, a fight which was fought and won by CCRA-NJ, but the DOL has begun auditing court reporting agencies once again, despite the fact that the Appellate Court rendered its decision in February 2024 upholding the statutory language of Section 43:21-19(i)(10) which specifically states:  “Services performed by a legal transcriber, or certified court reporter certified pursuant to P.L.1940, c.175 (C.45:15B-1 et seq.), shall not be deemed to be employment subject to the ‘unemployment compensation law.’"

By renewing, you gain so much, including:

  • Free member webinars.
  • Discounted registration to educational events.
  • Networking opportunities with other professionals.
  • Shared resources of knowledge and skill.
  • An association fighting for our needs.

And don't forget, you save money each year with our reduced early renewal rates!

The hard reality is if CCRA-NJ no longer exists, there will be no one to advocate for us, to support our collective goals, and to ensure that we continue as a profession.  Please become a distinguished member of our esteemed community.  Our future depends on you!

2026 Dues

  • Participating (1-year membership) $175 
  • Participating (2-year membership) $325 
  • Associate $70
  • Scopist $70
  • Student $25

If you need any assistance, please contact the CCRA-NJ Headquarters at [email protected] or call 856.875.0818.

Ready to flex your brain and have some fun? This two-hour quizzo is made just for court reporters who love words, trivia, and a little friendly competition.

No stress, no studying — just a fun way to brush up on things you hear at work all the time (and maybe learn something new too). Get ready to laugh, learn, and maybe win a prize!
