Four Court Reporters Laid Off From Marin Superior Court

Posted in: Court Reporter News

Marin County Superior Court has laid off six employees to help close a budget gap of approximately $2 million, the court’s top manager confirmed Monday.

The layoffs included four court reporters, a research attorney and an information technology specialist, said Kim Turner, executive director of the court. Now there are 10 reporters, four attorneys and eight IT specialists, Turner said.

The workers were laid off Friday without prior warning. Under the terms of their union contract, they will receive a week’s severance pay, plus whatever vacation and paid time off they have accrued.

Turner said she does not expect additional layoffs this fiscal year, which ends June 30, but the projections for next year are grim. The court employs about 170 people, including 10 full judges and five assistant judges.
