HUV TWVM05 Chapter 04

create another copy of the document or does it change the existing document in the file?

Answer: It essentially creates another copy of the document. So in your example, if you redact

an exhibit and make it a key document, you can then go back to the original exhibit and clear the

redaction, and the key document will still show the redacted area.

Question: once you create a document on the whiteboard how do you mark it as an exhibit?

Answer: Once you create the whiteboard, find it in your file list on the left (in the root folder, at

the bottom of your folders and files). Press the Edit button at the top and then select the

Whiteboard so the checkbox is highlighted to its left. Then press the Rename button at the

bottom. The box that appears will allow you to name and place an exhibit sticker on the

Question: Can you bookmark a place on a video with Trial Pad?

Answer: No - the closest you can come is to make video clips, so you can show only a part of a

video.

Question: What work-arounds have either of you developed for being able to make full use of

TrialPad features / utility in courtrooms w/o good (or any) A/V capabilities? (ie., bring your own

flat screens? printers? etc.?)

Answer: If you encounter a court with poor / no audio/visual capabilities (make sure you find

this out sooner than later - you don’t want to show up on the day of trial and learn it for the first

time), the following is what we consider the minimum requirements to create your own setup:

•

Apple TV (if you have a projector with HDMI output or a VGA-to-HDMI adapter

•

Speakers and cable - you will need to plug speakers into your iPad in order to play

depositions or other audio files.

•

Projector Screen

Question: Could you give us a verbal description of how one would use TrialPad during a

closing argument integrating exhibits, video clips, filing in verdict forms, adding up damage

elements, etc. without the jury seeing you "read"?

Answer: The best way to do this is to mark those exhibits and video clips you want to use in

closing as Key Documents as you proceed through the trial. You will also want to create a jury

Documents as well. In the Key Documents area, you can press Edit and arrange exhibits, videos

space. However, if your case is document-intensive, the TrialPad team has found that it is

possible to store and display thousands of exhibits on a 16GB iPad. To be safe, you’ll want to

use a 128GB iPad, to make sure you have the most capacity. Another workaround is to bring a

wireless portable hard drive with you to court - you can store additional documents on them, and

wirelessly transfer them to the iPad if you happen to need them during trial.

We have not heard of any reports of lawyers who couldn’t use the iPad because of the volume of

documents in a case - but that doesn’t mean it can’t happen. There may be very large cases that

are not suitable for the iPad, and you’ll want to use a PC-based tool like Sanction or Trial

Director.

folders? Can you change presentation backgrounds? Are there remote devices that can advance a

presentation file in TrialPad such as a remote mouse?

Answer: 1) Yes, you can rename a Whiteboard, and move it to any other case within TrialPad. 2)

If you press on the Settings button (the gear icon next to Output at the bottom of the screen), the

first option is Background - you can choose between Black, White and Gradient backgrounds. 3)

It is not possible to remotely control TrialPad - to do that, there would need to be a dedicated

“TrialPad Remote” app that you could run from an iPhone, similar to the Keynote Remote that

works with Apple’s Keynote presentation software.
