After one of the The Trial Presentation Companion: A Step-by-Step Guide to Presenting Electronic Evidence in the Courtroom, written by award-winning legal technologist Shannon Lex Bales, is NITA's first-ever, comprehensive how-to manual on running electronic evidence in the courtroom. This face-saving guide will help you and your firm expand your comfort zone in working with all the bits and pieces--laptops, trial presentation software, document cameras, audio-visual components, the puzzling array of cords and cables--that are increasingly essential when presenting electronic evidence in court in the modern era. Checklists and guides are included to help your firm create a technology plan for trial and recognize where opposing firms may attempt less-than-reputable technical tactics, such as burden shifting, to throw a monkey wrench in your trial plan. For the judiciary, the book presents a warts-and-all view of trial technology and discusses reasonable presentation obligations by firms to the court and how the court can ensure more efficient technological processes and fewer problems in the courtroom. Part One, Trial Presentation in Theory, is just that: a theoretical explanation, in plain (and often tongue-in-cheek) English, about why expert trial technologists do what they do during pretrial and in court: how to organize and name exhibit files, choose the best software for your needs, build a trial kit of equipment to take to court, comply with the Trial Management Order, develop an effective workflow, cultivate relationships that provide mutual support in court and out, and much more. Part Two, Trial Presentation in Practice, shows you, step by illustrated step, how you, too, can bring that same game to your own legal team as you huddle for trial. Even if you don't know an HDMI port from a VGA and have never set up a folder system on your server before, The Trial Presentation Companion will show you how, and before you know it, you'll be running the show like you were born to it. This book is suitable for everyone from judges and law firm partners and associates to law students, budding trial technologists, and paralegals.

Part I dissects the related San Bernardino County California cases involving Katie Tagle and Stephen Garcia. This techno-legal case study reviews ten different types of technological evidence unexamined by three separate Superior Court judges and the resulting tragic consequences. The Plaintiff approached law enforcement, as well as both civil and criminal sectors of the legal system for an order of protection. She was unable to gain protection from through the courts. Judges presumed that the technological evidence presented was manufactured. Yet, a technological examination of the evidence clearly demonstrates the legitimate threat to the Plaintiff and their son. The actions of the court resulted in the murder-suicide by Defendant Stephen Garcia and their nine month old son, Wyatt. The case study thoroughly examines the chain of events, evidence, legal and social implications upon the San Bernardino County community and across the United States. Part II of the book provides an introductory overview of technology in conjunction with the essential considerations pertinent to legal professionals.
