Q. 4The trial date is rapidly approaching, and Jack Parsons and his team have met to discuss what software and display technologies they should use to present their case. They know that some of the expert testimony would need to be presented in video form, and the jury would need to be shown charts and graphs to help them understand the scientific evidence. In his many years as a trial lawyer, Jack was familiar with most of the judges and courtrooms in their local jurisdiction. Unfortunately, the case had been removed from their local court to a new judge in another jurisdiction on the opposite side of the state. In this other court system, the facilities varied from courtroom to courtroom. Some were equipped with monitors, while others had nothing more than power outlets in the walls. Jack also had no idea what was available in their assigned courtroom. What steps should the trial team take at this point before they proceed further with their planning?

What assurances can the trial team give the judge, and what technological solution can be incorporated into the courtroom technology?
