Court Reporter Practice Exam

Where can you find the cost of a deposition?

1. On the court docket

2. On the certification page

3. In the judge's instructions

4. On the attorney's invoice

The correct answer is: On the certification page

The certification page is the correct choice because it typically includes official documentation that outlines various details associated with the deposition, including its cost. This page serves as a formal record and may detail costs related to transcription services, added features, or other expenses incurred during the deposition process. It is the designated documentation that confirms the accuracy and authenticity of the proceedings and the related expenses. The other options do not typically contain cost information regarding a deposition. The court docket primarily tracks filings and court proceedings but does not detail deposition costs. Judge's instructions generally focus on procedural matters and legal guidelines rather than specific financial details. An attorney's invoice, while it does outline costs, may not be available at the time of the deposition itself, making it less reliable for retrieving immediate cost information associated with a specific deposition without a prior agreement on fees.
