CTRP1113

This course will teach the student the basics of legal and medical terminology as required by the National Court Reporters Association's General Requirements and Minimum Standards (GRMS). Students will be able to use the terminology learned to build and enhance their personal dictionary and work with the shorthand writing machine to produce an instantaneous realtime translation of the terminology learned. The goal of the course is to give the student knowledge of anatomy and medical terminologies, including root words, prefixes, suffixes, body systems and functions, psychological and physical diseases, drugs, and methods of researching medical information, as well as knowledge of civil law, criminal law, the judicial system (e.g. discovery, trial, and appellate processes), and legal terms.
