You already know about our videoconference room for remote working meetings and depositions. Our in-court “mobile” videoconferencing allows a witness or expert to testify from anywhere in the world directly into the court for live question and answer testimony. Pricing is surprisingly affordable, especially compared to the cost of travel time and expenses – or the cost of not having live testimony at all. And post-verdict interviews tell us the live remote videoconference witness testimony can be even MORE engaging since it’s different.

Prolumina is the Northwest’s leader in in-court videoconferencing, with the skills and technology to make it work for your case. Do you have a case where a witness is traveling a great distance to testify? Will you incur hours of unnecessary standby charges from an expert while he/she sits idly by waiting for their day to testify? Do you have a witness who has a legitimate schedule complication and simply can’t make it to court? If so, let me show you how Prolumina’s in-court videoconferencing can make your life easier at trial.

Do judges allow this technology in trial?

Yes. According to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 43(a), the court may, for good cause shown in compelling circumstances and upon appropriate safeguards, permit presentation of testimony in open court by contemporaneous transmission from a different location.

Although the Advisory Committee to Fed. R. Civ. P. 43 notes point to videotaped depositions as a preferred alternative, live testimony via videoconference is often much more effective from a litigant’s point of view. Conditions may have changed since the date of the deposition; an expert may need to take account of factors that have arisen since the deposition; and the foundation requirements for an exhibit may not have been anticipated adequately. According to The Federal Judicial Center Effective Use of Courtroom Technology: A Judge’s Guide to Pretrial and Trial @ pg 280.
