What can a supervising CSR be held accountable for?

A supervising CSR (Certified Shorthand Reporter) can be held accountable for the conduct of their apprentice because it is part of their professional responsibilities to ensure that the apprentice adheres to the standards of practice, ethics, and procedures established within the field. The supervisor is tasked with providing oversight, guidance, and mentorship to the apprentice, which includes being responsible for the apprentice’s actions and ensuring they operate within the legal and procedural framework applicable to court reporting.

In this supervisory role, the CSR must actively monitor the apprentice’s performance, offering feedback and corrections where necessary, to ensure that the quality of their work aligns with industry standards. This accountability helps maintain the integrity of the court reporting profession and ensures that the legal process is accurately supported by competent reporting.

The other choices, while important within the legal context, do not fall under the direct accountability of a supervising CSR. The performance of the attorney or outcomes of court cases are not within the CSR's professional purview, nor do they control client interactions in a way that would imply accountability. Thus, these aspects do not directly link to the supervising CSR's responsibilities.
