Some highlights that you may get to see live include:

• a walking tour of Legal London and the Inns of Court
• a Friday night soiree in the pub which stands atop the tunnels and vaults of the old Bank of England where dastardly deeds were once committed below ground
• presentations/speeches from some big names in the business
• cruising up and down the River Thames whilst partaking in a very British afternoon tea
• the London Exposition at the prestigious Law Society on Monday, July 31

What is the BIVR?

The British Institute of Verbatim Reporters is the leading organization for verbatim reporters in the UK. BIVR members work in many spheres of the law such as the High Court, Crown Courts, tribunals, and inquiries. They write machine shorthand using Stenograph, a variety of Palantype system machines, or Pitman handwritten shorthand.
BIVR members work with deaf and deafened people as Speech-to-Text communication supporters. BIVR encourages real-time skills which are used extensively in complex cases. Television subtitling is also carried out by some of their members. BIVR has a long and rich history. It is the successor organization to the Institute of Shorthand Writers, incorporated as long ago as 1887.
