Why This Training Matters
The current growth of audio/video systems in courts has greatly stretched the knowledge pool of most court technology support personnel. At the same time, many courts face limited resources to hire new staff.
That means today’s professionals must build and expand their own technical skill sets. Audio Video courtroom training is becoming increasingly important.
Courts today need personnel who are building their AV courtroom skill sets and knowledge.
