Technological tools have become a mainstay of the modern courtroom. Counsel must either adapt to this new reality or be left behind. This presentation will focus on best practices for the use of technology in the preparation and presentation of a case in both a civil and criminal context. In addition to experienced criminal and civil counsel, our panel members also include two members of our Judiciary as we provide input on getting the most of currently available software.
Our presentation will focus on two key aspects of the modern day civil and criminal file - the use of CaseLines and Zoom. We will begin our presentation with an exploration of CaseLines including how to file and ultimately present your case. We will provide tips and tricks on the best ways to use current software (including Adobe and PowerPoint) so you can get the most out of CaseLines and Zoom. We will complete our discussion by reviewing the benefits and pitfalls of virtual proceedings.
Join us to learn how best to use technology to successfully prepare your case for virtual proceedings.
