your presentation combines visual evidence with
oral presentation.

over the last 15 years. Hardware and software
options are more numerous, more robust, less
expensive and easier to use than ever before.

Practical Considerations
Several weeks before trial ask yourself the following questions:
What are the case-specific cost issues with using levels of technology?
Will the court allow me to use projectors, computers and any other
equipment for demonstrative purposes?
Will the court provide any of the equipment?
Are there monitors already built into the courtroom?
How is the courtroom set up?
Will the Court allow me to set up my equipment before trial?
Who will run the equipment at trial?
