Rule 353. There are presently 135.5 authorized official court reporter positions statewide. See page 8 of this Handbook for a breakdown by judicial district. E. Oath of Office Each official court reporter must take the oath or affirmation prescribed by K.S.A. 54-106 which provides: "I do solemnly swear [or affirm] that I will support the constitution of the United States and the constitution of the state of Kansas, and faithfully discharge the duties of [official court reporter]. So help me God." F. Model Position Description The Office of Judicial Administration has drafted a model position description, listing the potential job responsibilities of managing court reporters, official court reporters, and transcriptionists. See pages 9- 11 of this Handbook. An individual reporter's supervisor will determine which specific job responsibilities are applicable to that reporter. Evaluations are then based on the reporter's subsequent performance of the assigned duties. G. Personnel Rules All Judicial Branch employees are subject to the Rules Relating to the Kansas Court Personnel System, revised October 2004. Those personnel rules contain a comprehensive statement of an employee's rights and responsibilities and are available from the Chief Judge in each judicial district or from the Personnel Officer in the Office of Judicial Administration. An official court reporter should ask for a copy of the personnel rules at the beginning of employment, if one is not provided. H. Assignment Outside District; Sale of Transcripts; Administration of Oath; Reimbursement of Expenses Pursuant to K.S.A. 20-917, the Supreme Court provides by rule for the assignment of an official court reporter to duty in another judicial district and regulates the making of records and the preparation and sale of trial transcripts. The statute further provides that official court reporters have the power to administer oaths in court proceedings and are to be reimbursed for actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of their official duties in the same manner and to the same extent district j udges are reimbursed.
