The Supreme Court, with the aid of the Administrative Director of the Courts, shall determine the number of full-time and part-time court reporters that may be appointed in each judicial administrative district of the state in the manner as hereinafter provided by this act. In determining how many court reporters are needed in each administrative district the Supreme Court shall consider the following factors: (1) case loads in the administrative district; (2) the number of district judges, associate district judges and special judges in the administrative district; (3) the number of cities and towns within each administrative district in which regular court sessions are held and the distance in road miles between each; and (4) any other factor deemed relevant by the Supreme Court. The Court may, as the need arises, increase or decrease the number of court reporters so authorized, and the Court may, where the business of a court requires it, authorize the presiding judge of the administrative district in which said court is located to employ a temporary court reporter.
