Courtroom Resources

Document Camera

Portable document cameras are available for use at the the lectern or attorney tables. The cameras function much like overhead projectors except that the images are displayed on monitors around the courtroom instead of being projected on a single screen. Touchscreen monitors at the podium and witness box permit the speaker and the witness to make annotations on the document being presented. Please note that annotations are not saved.

Computer Interface Panels

The podium and counsel tables have panels that allow USB-A, USB-C, and HDMI connections from a laptop computer or mobile device to the evidence presentation system. The panels also allow charging via a standard power outlet, USB-A, and USB-C ports. 

Use of Presentation Resources

Parties wishing to use the courtroom presentation equipment must contact the courtroom deputy at least one week prior to the hearing or trial. The courtroom deputy will arrange training to test the equipment prior to the actual hearing. 

Digital Audio Record

The court makes digital audio recordings of all hearings and trials using FTR Gold™.  Most, but not all, audio files are attached as mp3 files to the hearing minutes in PACER. These may be played on a standard music player. Audio records may also be requested from the Clerk's Office for a $34 fee.

Assisted Listening Devices

For individuals with hearing disabilities, wireless headsets are available from the courtroom deputy.
