Answer to Question 1

The types of electronic equipment available can vary, even among rooms within
the same courthouse. These differences may occur because of budgetary issues or the personal preferences of the jurists using each courtroom. Just as some trial attorneys are not comfortable using multimedia presentation tools, some judges may feel that multimedia technology detracts from the ultimate task of reviewing the facts to make a judgment. The trial team thus has to be prepared to make the best presentation of their client's case, whether in a traditional courtroom or in a contemporary, multimedia courtroom. In most traditional courtrooms, litigants use easels or display boards, blackboards, or erasable whiteboards. These may be used to display exhibits, list items, or provide a space for witnesses to draw diagrams. In some contemporary courtrooms, these basic tools have given way to more modern technology such as visual presentation systems, and the computer projector. In more complex arrangements, computer monitors are located at the counsel's table, on the judge's bench, and in some cases in the jury box or witness stand.
