When does a court reporter typically take closing arguments?

After the jury trial concludes
After all evidence has been submitted
When any party requests it
At the beginning of the trial

The correct answer is: When any party requests it

A court reporter typically takes closing arguments after all evidence has been submitted during a trial. This moment is crucial as it allows the attorneys to summarize the evidence and make their final persuasive arguments to the jury before they deliberate. Closing arguments occur after the presentation of evidence and witness testimonies, providing a chance for both parties to outline their case effectively. The option that indicates a request from any party does not represent the structured nature of trial proceedings. Closing arguments follow a specific timeline in the courtroom and are not dictated solely by request. This order ensures that the jury has a complete understanding of both sides' positions based on the evidence previously presented.
