It is not, of course, that we don’t have a fair amount of technology-augmented trial practice. Anecdotal evidence abounds as to both quantity and, sometimes, quality. In recent study of the United States district courts, the Federal Judicial Center, conducted by Elizabeth Wiggins, Meghan Dunn and George Cort, respondents reported that 98% of districts have access to an evidence camera and 93% to wiring to connect laptop computer.
