My name is Kate McKay, and I’m the District Court Judge in Pinedale, Wyoming. I am writing to you and others to advertise a position for an Official Court Reporter, opening March 29, 2025. I believe wholeheartedly that Wyoming is a wonderful place to work, live and raise a family. It offers many benefits that other locations may not – I’ll tell you more about that in a moment. That said, remote work will be considered for the right candidate.

The Wyoming District Courts employ 27 Official Court Reporters who receive an annual salary range of $69,213 (RPR) to $76,134 (CRR). Each Official Reporter earns additional page rate income for all transcripts they produce, which can be substantial. The statutory page rate is $3.85 per page for the original and a copy rate of $1.25 per page. The Wyoming Judicial Branch also offers exceptional benefits to reporters, including group medical for you and your family, prescriptions, vision, dental coverage, ambulance service, life insurance, and a retirement plan with a deferred compensation option as well as other State benefits.

The primary duty of the position is to create the verbatim record of court proceedings for criminal, civil, and juvenile cases. Any applicant must have RPR certification or equivalent within two years of hire. The reporter must provide his or her own writer, computer and software. You must also be proficient in Realtime. (Certification in Realtime is not required but does provide a bump in salary.) Reporters work directly with their judge, not in a pool and not for a court administrator.

As for Wyoming and its advantages, people often say it is a small town with really long streets. Our Judicial Branch is likewise small and collegial. Some great features of living in Pinedale include:

Tons of easy access to three mountain ranges: the Wind River, Gros Ventre, and Wyoming ranges. Hike, bike, ski, camp, backpack, snowmobile, hunt and more see sublettetrails.org; www.townofpinedale.us; www.sublettechamber.com/
World class fishing and tons of wildlife (moose everywhere!)
Just over 1 hour away from Jackson Hole, with a very accessible airport jacksonholechamber.com/
5 hours away from Rock Springs, which also has a good airport and additional retail
White Pine Ski Resort is just 20 minutes from town whitepinewyoming.com
Fremont Lake is one of the deepest and clearest in the country, just 10 minutes from town, for boating, ice fishing and ice skating; Half Moon Lake and many others are just a bit farther see lakesidelodge.com/explore
Schools are excellent (see sub1.org/en-US) and there is so much for kids (and adults) to do:
- the Pinedale Aquatic Center is a top-notch recreational center https://www.pinedaleaquatic.com/
- great parks and walking paths throughout town
- ice rink and archery range
- beautiful athletic fields
- golf course
- the best library in the world (IMO:)

In Pinedale, you will find low crime, great schools, a wonderful sense of community, and great work balance. Additionally, since in Wyoming we judges work one-on-one with our reporters, this allows more flexibility and teamwork to accommodate family needs and personal interests.

If you or any working reporter you know might be interested in working on my team, please contact me by emailing my Judicial Assistant, Deborah, at SubletteDC9Chambers@courts.state.wy.us.

The job application may be obtained by going to:

https://www.courts.state.wy.us/court-administration/careers/

If you love the outdoors, no longer want a commute, and want a safe and beautiful place to live, I know that I can offer you that with this position. I would love to hear from you and would be grateful if you shared this position with any reporter who you think might be looking for a change.
