CAPTUR is live on Facebook! Go give it a follow!

As STAR transitions into CAPTUR over the coming months, the CAPTUR page is where you'll find all the news, updates, and community developments. This STAR page will wind down as the transition wraps up, so head over and follow CAPTUR to make sure you can stay connected!

CAPTUR (The Council for the Advancement of Professionals, Technology, and Unbiased Reporting) is the association uniting every professional who creates, supports, and protects the legal record.

Coming soon: new CAPTUR page

STAR has joined forces with AAERT to form CAPTUR. Pronounced like capture, CAPTUR stands for The Council for the Advancement of Professionals, Technology, and Unbiased Reporting. You'll see our new CAPTUR identity rolling out over the coming months.

For starters, over the coming week, you’ll see the launch of the official CAPTUR page. We’ll let you know once it’s up and running so that you can follow along as we build something bigger and better for every professional who makes, supports, and protects the legal record!
