Video Streaming for Law Schools

Courtroom Connect is the leading provider of advanced communication services to the legal industry, including law schools, law firms, court reporters, bar associations, litigation support firms, courts, and jurors. Courtroom Connect products and services are used at courtrooms and law firms throughout the country. Additionally, through Law School Connect, a joint venture with the Courtroom 21 Project of William and Mary Law School, the company delivers a turnkey videoconferencing solution for law student recruiting at top law schools. Courtroom Connect also has extensive experience streaming trials, mock trials, video depositions, and other legal presentations and proceedings live and on demand.

Courtroom Connect is now making the same solutions used for streaming depositions, trials, and arbitrations available to law schools. The Courtroom Connect streaming platform integrates the technology, services, and support law schools need to successfully implement video streaming. Courtroom Connect uses Sonic Foundry’s Mediasite technology, which incorporates audio, video, and graphic elements into an online presentation that can be viewed live or on demand via any web browser. It is the preferred technology for legal organizations looking to web cast because of its flexibility and ease-of-use.

Using this Mediasite video streaming solution, law schools are able to:

• Capture and store special presentations and footage of guest speakers
• Record and review mock trials using the same technology currently used in many real cases
• Promote the school and use in the recruitment of new students
• Foster faculty collaboration on research and training
• Easily provide interactive and personal online lectures for either distance learning or as a reference resource for students
• Efficiently communicate business information to many faculty, staff, or students via the Internet
• Profitably distribute CLE presentations

The Solution Mediasite creates online presentations automatically. The speaker presents as usual, while the technology synchronizes what he/she says with the visual aids and instantly streams both over the Internet. Others watch the presentation through any web browser at their convenience, either live or on-demand.

Video Streaming Made Easy

With the Mediasite platform, it is easy to get started streaming any presentation:

1. Present using any video, graphic, or digital presentation source.
2. Press one button and start presenting. The Mediasite Recorder synchronizes your audio, video, and graphics.
3. Train, brief, and teach through the Mediasite Viewer. Navigate to any point in the presentation with typical remote controls: play, fast-forward, rewind, and pause.
4. Distribute your recording online using our Mediasite Server Software. People can watch at their convenience, live in real-time or later on-demand. And, you can interact with them through polls and Q&A.
5. Organize and secure your presentations as your content grows.
