Exclusively for court reporting agencies
Service 05 — In the courtroom

Trial presentation support

Specialists who carry the record from your deposition suite into the courtroom.

Your agency stays the client of record. We coordinate with your scheduler, meet counsel at the courthouse, and hand everything back to you — nothing goes to the law firm directly.

The two roles

Who does what at counsel table.

On smaller matters a single tech covers both roles. On document-  and testimony-heavy trials, the two work side by side.

Role A

Trial technician

Owns the evidence and the equipment — everything counsel needs on the screen(s), the moment they ask for it.

—Sets up and operates courtroom presentation equipment
—Displays exhibits, documents, photos and graphics on demand
—Manages trial databases and organizes evidence for quick retrieval
—Troubleshoots courtroom technology and supports the legal team throughout proceedings
Role B

Video playback technician

Owns the recorded testimony — from designation through the clips that play in the courtroom.

—Prepares deposition and other recorded testimony for presentation
—Creates and manages video clips based on designated testimony
—Plays clips accurately and on demand
—Handles objections, edits, synchronization, audio levels and backup playback systems
How it works

Four steps, no surprises.

1
You send the trial dates

Courthouse, courtroom, dates, and whether counsel needs one technician or two.

2
Preparation before day one

We load the exhibit database, build clips from designations, and confirm what equipment the courtroom supplies versus what we bring.

3
In the courtroom

Early setup, a dry run with counsel, and a technician at the table for every session — with a backup machine already cabled.

4
Nightly turnaround

Ruling-driven edits, new clips, and next-day exhibit changes handled overnight — reported back to your agency and/or the law firm.

What's included

✓Technician(s) on site for every trial session
✓Exhibit database build and maintenance
✓Clip creation from counsel's designations and counters
✓Objection and ruling edits applied between sessions
✓Redundant playback machine and cabling on site
✓Pretrial courtroom walkthrough where permitted

Common questions

Do we need both technicians?

Not always. If the trial is exhibit-light or has little video testimony, one technician covers both roles. Tell us the volume and we'll recommend the staffing.

Can you work from another vendor's video?

Yes. We build clips from any deposition video and transcript, whether or not we recorded it.

Who does the technician answer to?

Counsel directs the work in the courtroom; your agency remains the client.

What if the trial continues or settles?

Dates move constantly. Tell us as soon as you know — we hold the technician and re-schedule without a penalty.

Have trial dates on the calendar?

Send the courthouse, the dates, and the testimony volume — we'll confirm staffing the same business day.
