Georgia Just Made Digital Court Reporting Legal.
Remote Legal Has Been Ready for 40 Years.
What Georgia House Bill 179 Actually Changes
For decades, Georgia required stenographic reporters to capture the official record in depositions. HB 179 changes that. Digital court reporting, where a certified professional uses audio and video technology to capture and certify the record, is now fully lawful in Georgia. That means more access, more flexibility, and more options for litigators who've been working around reporter shortages for years.
Three Things Georgia Litigators Can Now Do That They Couldn't Before
HB 179 isn't just a legal change — it's a practice advantage. Here's what it unlocks for plaintiff attorneys who move first.
Schedule Depositions When You Need Them
Reporter shortages used to dictate your timeline. With digital court reporting now lawful in Georgia, Remote Legal’s certified reporter network gives you on-demand availability so your schedule drives the deposition, not the other way around.
Take On More Cases Without Adding Overhead
A more accessible reporter pool means more deposition capacity, without hiring more staff or navigating more vendors. Flat-rate pricing keeps your per-deposition costs predictable as your volume grows.
Move to a Certified, Compliant Workflow From Day One
HB 179 is new, and not all providers understand what compliance actually requires. Remote Legal’s digital reporters are certified and trained to meet Georgia’s standards so you’re never guessing whether your record will hold up.

How is Remote Legal different from other court reporting vendors and remote deposition technology providers?
Remote Legal is a proprietary virtual-proceeding platform. It’s not reliant on Zoom, a randomly assigned court reporter, or a separate file-sharing program. With 40 years of experience in the court reporting industry, we look to improve every aspect of how remote depositions are conducted, building a purposefully designed platform from the ground up.
We separate ourselves from other providers through our court reporting heritage, custom-built platform, and experienced testimony-capture professionals.

Nope. Remote Legal Court Reporting is a web-based platform so no software download is required.
What's different about the exhibit handling?
An attorney, paralegal or legal assistant can preload exhibits or upload on the fly. Share only the exhibits you deem necessary, and they are automatically date and timestamped once introduced. Mark and annotate the exhibit for witnesses and attorneys to see in real time.
