The court system is one of Canada’s most essential institutions. It is vital in determining whether the rehabilitation process of serving jail time can ensure a criminal doesn’t re-offend and also ensuring that criminals who are beyond help serve out their lives in prison. Guaranteeing that everything goes smoothly in the court system, before, during and after a trial, are professionals who have completed court reporting and court clerk training. While their duties differ, these professionals can obtain their training from one program—Centennial College’s Court Support Services—and go on to enjoy positions with: the Ministry of the Attorney General (Ontario Court of Justice, Ontario Superior Court of Justice), municipal courts, tribunals and boards, official examiners, and court reporting services.
At Centennial College, the court report and court clerk training has been designed with recommendations from the Ministry of the Attorney General. As such, it covers topics that employers require of their court support services employees, including procedural rules, municipal court training, court reporting and transcribing as well as specific laws such as family law and criminal law.
Applicants to this court clerk training must have completed at minimum an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent or be 19 years of age or older. In addition, they must have the compulsory English 12 or U credit, or skills assessment, or equivalent; and demonstrate an acceptable level of English language proficiency. Applicants whose first language is not English, and who have studied in an English language school system, for less than three full years may meet English proficiency requirements by providing satisfactory results an English Language Proficiency test.
The court report and court clerk training is facilitated using both theory and hands-on practice though career-orientated assignments in newly upgraded computer labs, simulated courtroom settings. Taking the hands-on approach as step further, court clerk and court report training at Centennial College includes an assimilated courtroom. In this courtroom, students practice duties such as taking an oath, presenting before judges and more. Additionally, students benefit from trips to various courtrooms and tribunals, including family, criminal, small claims and municipal court settings, to witness how their career duties are played out in the real world.
Among the responsibilities of court clerks are: preparing dockets of cases to be called; recording case dispositions, court orders, and arrangements made for payment of court fees; preparing documents recording the outcomes of court proceedings; explaining procedures or forms to parties in cases or to the general public; and more. Meanwhile, court monitors ask speakers to clarify inaudible statements; record verbatim proceedings of courts, legislative assemblies, committee meetings, and other proceedings; transcribe recorded proceedings in accordance with established formats; respond to requests during court sessions to read portions of the proceedings already recorded; and more.
To ensure that those taking court clerk training and municipal court training at Centennial College are truly prepared, they are required to attain a minimum C grade average and an overall minimum GPA of 2.0.
