Bench Trial: In a bench trial there is no jury.  A judge will listen to all the evidence, rule on objections and ultimately decide the outcome of the case.  For a bench trial, presentation technology requirements can differ compared to a jury trial.  Work with your trial presentation consultant to determine which type of equipment is necessary and where to place it.

Civil Jury Trial: A civil jury trial can consist of discovery, depositions, motion hearings, summary judgement hearings, Frye or Daubert hearings, jury selection, openings, direct and cross examinations and closings.  Most, if not all of these proceedings have the potential of needing trial presentation technology.  Thinking visually from the outset of the case will prompt the trial team to consider utilizing the power of trial presentation technology in a multitude of settings.

Patent Trial: In an intellectual property case many of the same proceedings take place during the course of the case.  In addition, patent trials often have Markman hearings which can offer an opportunity to present visually to the judge as they attempt to decide how to define the terms in a patent prior to trial.

Criminal Trial: Many criminal trials are taking advantage of trial presentation technology.  Prosecutors and defense counsel can present evidence using trial presentation software, document cameras, etc.

Arbitrations:  Arbitrations are a type of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and a way to resolve disputes outside the courts. The dispute will be decided by one or more arbitrators who will render an award. An arbitration award can be legally binding on both sides and enforceable in the courts.

Mediations: Mediation is another form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) that involves usually one mediator agreed to by both sides who works with both sides to negotiate a settlement.  Mediations are generally not legally binding.
