Describe how Court Staff can Assist the Legal Team with Using Electronic Resources in the Courthouse

What will be an ideal response?


Within each courthouse and each courtroom are numerous people who are more than willing to help the legal team if properly approached and consulted. They have specialized knowledge that has developed from working in their area of expertise on a daily basis. The technical support office should be the first place to contact if any technology will be needed in the courthouse. The first step is to find out what the procedures are in each courtroom. Members of the support staff may also know how the different judges view the use of technology. Some judges may not approve of any large-screen displays, while others may think a single large-projection screen is appropriate. Some may have individual monitors throughout the courtroom, yet not want them used for specific events like presenting a video deposition, preferring instead a single monitor placed for the judge and the jury to view. The technical support person at the courthouse can also help clear the team's hardware through security, saving time and stress on the day of trial.
