Legal & Telepresence

Everyone has a right to a speedy trial, but by its nature, the wheels of justice turn very slowly. Part of the reason for this is that scheduling a trial and gathering all interested parties in a room is a huge challenge. Although videoconferencing may not guarantee justice, it can help those wheels turn a little more quickly. Here are some examples of how videoCloud services can help facilitate and enhance legal procedures:

• Attorneys can close a merger between two companies thousands of miles apart while the bondholders and brokers explain their positions from yet another conference room.
• Lawyers can use videoconferencing to prepare witnesses, take depositions, and review evidence.
• Law schools can cooperate to increase course offerings in the regular curriculum, especially in low-enrollment boutique classes.
• Criminal trials can proceed with less risk and fewer security issues as the people involved in the trial can communicate from secure remote locations.
• Courtrooms become more accessible, as the courtroom is delivered to the participants rather than the other way around.
• Victims can participate in parole hearings without having to travel to a correctional facility.
• Law enforcement officers can testify before a jury without having to spend an entire day in court.

Whether videoconferencing is applied to arbitration, depositions, pre-trial hearings, inmate assistance, expert interviews, mediation, client meetings, or a host of other procedures, it saves time and travel for everyone involved.
