Advanced technology helps make trials easier in many ways. Christianity Today recently listed some of the benefits of court technology, the most important being that people who can’t attend the trial can view the transcript in real-time if they have an internet connection.
Here are some other advantages to having courtroom recording technology, per Christianity Today:
Immediate admission to the transcript
Attorneys can see the transcript while the trial is still going on, enabling them to quickly change their tactics if need be and strategize how to best question a witness. It also enables them to see clearly what was asked and answered earlier in the trial so they can re-state information if they need clarification.
Private messaging off the record
Attorneys can record off-the-record conversations via real-time instant messaging, saving time and averting any interruptions that might delay of the trial.
Live review
Real-time reporting allows the counsel’s teammates to see the transcript instantly and formulate follow-up questions. They can also rephrase their queries if they did not get the response from the witness that they were looking for.
Cost efficiency
Attorneys can see a rough draft of the transcript before the final and official, making it much easier for them to prepare for the next day of questioning, which is cost-efficient for both the client and the attorney.
Testimonies can get impeached instantly
An instant transcript helps an attorney in the courtroom to impeach a witness instantly if necessary.
