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.”
