If a judge instructs to "strike that from the record," what should the court reporter do?

  1. Stop writing entirely

  2. Remove previous statements from record

  3. Keep writing and not exclude anything

  4. Check with the judge for clarification

The correct answer is: Keep writing and not exclude anything

When a judge instructs to "strike that from the record," the role of the court reporter is to maintain an accurate and complete transcript of the proceedings. This means continuing to write everything that is said in the courtroom, as the statement being struck does not affect the obligation to document the entire session accurately. The term "strike" indicates that the content is not to be considered part of the official record but does not mean that the court reporter should stop capturing all dialogue occurring thereafter. By continuing to write, the court reporter preserves the integrity of the court's proceedings while also honoring the judge's directive regarding the specific statements deemed irrelevant or inadmissible.
