Trial Presentation for Dummies
Many litigators want to present their demonstrative evidence using a laptop, but few of them have the patience to learn how to do so. That's funny because many lawyers enjoy sinking their teeth into complex legal issues that require a good chunk of time to research and analyze. But give them more than five menu commands to learn and their attention will drift, or worse they'll break into a cold sweat. One company has attempted to address this problem with a simplified approach to trial presentation.
ExhibitView 3.0 … in One Sentence
ExhibitView 3.0 is a trial presentation program.
The Killer Feature
Although ExhibitView's creators designed ExhibitView for newbies, their more advanced customers clamored for additional functionality. Rather than add features and clutter the interface, the company created a plug-in architecture in version 3.0.
Version 3.0 ships with two plug-ins — Microsoft Viewer and SynchPro. The former displays Microsoft documents. SynchPro enables you to show synchronized video depositions using a closed captioning overlay or scrolling text mode. You can search for and bookmark the testimony you want to show, and adjust the start/stop points.
Other Notable Features
ExhibitView can show one slide at a time or two slides side by side. It supports common image and other file formats. The new WebViewer Tab enables you to save and display Web pages. You can also display live Web pages if you have an Internet connection.
ExhibitView's Projector button automatically detects a projector and configures Windows' video settings accordingly.
What Else Should You Know?
ExhibitView costs $699, which includes training. You can install it on two Windows computers. Learn more about ExhibitView.
