Technology offers litigators an edge: the effective use of computers, video and audio in court helps to influence jurors and win cases

Article Abstract:

Courtroom litigators can benefit from understanding and using information technology to help them research and present their cases. While not always the best choice, computers and sophisticated video or audio equipment can sometimes make a point more effectively than other methods, or save hours and offer better results. The initial investment of both money and time in getting and learning to use such equipment, and the ongoing costs of maintaining it and supervising others, are ultimately well worth while.

For trials, get a trial attorney

Article Abstract:

Court congestion and delay could be helped by the use of trial attorneys rather than litigators. Litigators focus on the process, trial lawyers on the trial and resolving the process. During the pre-trial process, trial lawyers take only those actions which they determined will be useful at trial and do not try to cover every possible contingency that might come up. Strict judicial oversight of pre-trial procedure would help expedite the process.

Justice may justify name again

Article Abstract:

The Clinton Department of Justice must divest itself of the political cast acquired during the Reagan-Bush years and become the people's lawyer again. The Department is the focal point of the US' three branches of government and must remain a neutral body rendering impartial, intelligent advice to the various branches of government. Justice's political prostitution during the Reagan-Bush era must be stopped.
