Technology Available in Courtrooms

Each judge's courtroom has varying degrees of incorporated technology. All equipment is mounted in place and cannot be moved from courtroom to courtroom. The courtroom deputy is the primary contact for technology questions.

Permission to bring electronic equipment into the courtroom must be obtained from the judge presiding over the case. Please contact the judge's courtroom deputy with your requests.

If you intend to incorporate your laptop or other electronic equipment into the courtroom system, it is imperative that you test your equipment before the day of the appearance.

Each high-tech courtroom contains the following equipment:
