Six Tips Of Trial Technology For Every Budget

This article was written for The Mississippi Lawyer and was published Feb. 13, 2023.

Last Fall, we discussed the differences between the use of trial technology by Andrew's 350+ person law firm and Taylor's two-person law firm. We both had strong feelings about the use of technology in the court room. That conversation led to a CLE program aimed at finding technology solu­tions that work for every litigator and at every budget.

We talked to a bunch of experts. The best informa­tion we got was from Chief Judge Dan Jordan. He told us that almost every juror has amazing technology in their homes. Almost every juror has a smart phone that gives them the news and stories in every imaginable format. Those jurors expect lawyers to be competent using technology and to use technology in a way that adds to the story they are telling.
