Trying Your Case On a Budget - Webinar June 14, 2011 12 PST

- Jeffrey Koller - Hutchings General Counsel, Client Services

The cost to litigate cases continues to climb, and even steeper when you take them to bench or jury trial. On June 14, 1011, Consumer Attorneys of San Diego will offer a webinar presenting trial strategies and procedures that will help you successfully try your case while on a budget.  CASD offers ongoing programs on a variety of notable and practice oriented topics as well.

Coupled with what will be offered in this upcoming seminar, keep in mind the time and cost efficiences to be gained by working closely with your court reporting agency during the depostion/discovery stage.

First of all, are you aware that you can obtain online transcripts as well as deposition exhibits which can be viewed, searched, printed and then incorporated into a variety of trial presentation and related litigation software?  For example, CaseViewNet offers a free realtime viewer and transcript review program. Yes, "free." This program will easily reduce the time it takes to prepare your deposition summaries even providing you a method to draw out testimony by specific issues (i.e. impeachment, background, education, injury, etc.), as well as provide a user-friendly method to receive a realtime feed from the reporter.

Important White Paper Release: Secure Delivery of Transcripts Using Wireless and Internet

White Paper Released by NCRA's Wireless Task Force. 
The Wireless Task Force is pleased to announce that its white paper, titled The Secure Delivery of Transcripts Using Wireless and Internet-Based Realtime Methods, has been officially completed.
  
"This white paper is going to become the benchmark to judges, court administrators, IT professionals, and litigants, demonstrating that wireless and Bluetooth realtime are 100 percent secure," said Wireless Task Force Chair SueLynn Morgan. "We have found that the majority of federal and state courts have not yet broached the issue, and the task force wanted to be proactive and provide some certainty to the multitude of court reporters who provide a much-needed service in their courtrooms on a daily basis."
