Rule 9: Reporting or Recording the Proceedings

The employer or, if insured, the employer’s insurance carrier shall furnish a court reporter to be present and report or, by adequate mechanical means, to record and, if necessary, transcribe proceedings of any hearing. The court reporter’s charges for attendance shall be paid initially to the court reporter by the employer or, if insured, by the employer’s insurance carrier. The court reporter shall faithfully and accurately report or record the proceedings. If the State of Nebraska, Workers’ Compensation Trust Fund, is the only defendant, it shall furnish and pay initially the court reporter’s charges.

Court reporters recording the proceedings must comply with the Nebraska Supreme Court’s appellate court rules when preparing any bill of exceptions. The court reporter must submit bills of exceptions using a system prescribed by the court clerk.
