Role of Technology in the Courtroom
The evidence presentation system provides the opportunity to counsel to make presentations to the Court and jury through hardware and software located in the courtroom. The same monitors used to display a document, a diagram, or a photograph and can also be used to display a videotaped deposition or to show a computer animation.
Counsel are free from the difficulties of arranging for equipment to be installed in the courtroom and the integration of various input devices.
Displaying a document to the jury as it is being explained speeds up the trial and enhances the jury's comprehension of the testimony. The jury's attention can be focused on the examining attorney's presentation rather than some other document that may be in a trial notebook.
Security problems are alleviated in cases of drugs and weapons. They can be displayed through the Elmo instead of being passed to the jury for viewing.
Any computer can be added into the evidence presentation system. This enables counsel to use the software they are most comfortable with in front of a jury. They simply plug their notebook computer into the system and are ready to go.
You must reserve the cart or similar equipment a minimum of 2 weeks prior to trial. Otherwise the cart cannot be guaranteed availability to you. Click here to reserve it now.
