Make the Most of Courtroom Technology
Use available technology at trial and in oral argument. This article over at Law.com similarly directs you to "Make the Most of Courtroom Technology", but I would go further even than the article suggests. Using video depositions is a starting point; Branham & Day has videotaped the majority of the depositions we take since before I started three years ago. We have impeached a defendant using the courtroom's video feed of his trial testimony. We have used presentation software to give the court a side-by-side comparison demonstrating that two documents were substantively identical. Although it may not make sense (from an economic or strategic standpoint) to use high-tech tools in every case, they provide a tremendous resource for a litigator worth considering.
