COURTROOM CONNECT AND COURTROOM
21 SHOW TRIAL TEAMS HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF INTERNET
ACCESS AT TRIAL
(New York, New York) February 2, 2004 — Courtroom
Connect, the leading provider of high-speed Internet
access, printing, and remote real-time transcripts to
attorneys at Court, and Courtroom 21, the world center
for courtroom and related technology experimentation,
announced today that they are co-presenting an Emerging
Technology session at this year’s annual LegalTech
Conference. The session—titled, "Learn
How to Get the Most out of Internet Access at Trial:
Is Your Trial Team Ready?"—will take place
on Monday, February 2, 2004 at 11:45. Michael
Breyer, CEO of Courtroom Connect, will be speaking,
along with Courtroom Connect President, Louis Goldberg
and Mollie Nichols, Associate Director for Research
and Professional Education of the Courtroom 21 Project.
The Emerging Technology session will describe how courthouses
are becoming Internet-enabled and illustrate the ways
in which attorneys at trial make use of this technology
today. Michael Breyer, CEO of Courtroom Connect, had
this to say, “Now that high-speed Internet access
at the courthouse is becoming a standard trial technology,
litigators need to understand how to take advantage
of this powerful platform. The purpose of this session
is to demonstrate the ways in which litigators can do
that; from staying connected through email and instant
messaging to following live proceedings via digital
streaming. The possibilities are virtually limitless.”
Louis Goldberg, President of Courtroom Connect elaborated.
“Our presentation at LegalTech will help litigators
determine whether they are ready for Internet access
at court. We have found that law firms today are already
using this technology to their advantage—producing
exhibits and documents during trial, sending and receiving
e-mail during down time, using digital feeds to distribute
and receive critical work product, and conducting legal
research right from the counsel’s table. After
seeing this presentation, our audience should be ready
for Internet access at court—and know how to best
take advantage of it.”
Mollie Nichols, an experienced litigator from Courtroom
21, will end the session with a brief testimonial of
her experience using the Internet during trial. She
will discuss the benefits she experienced, including
fast, effective, and efficient access to needed information.
