Courtroom Technology Overview

 

The U.S. District Court in Seattle has technology equipment integrated into each courtroom for use by attorneys.  Below you will find key information that you should review prior to using this equipment. 

Key Considerations:

During your proceeding the courtroom deputy is the primary contact for courtroom technology. They will contact US District Court IT Personnel, if necessary.

The design of the Courtroom Technology has been approved by the Judge presiding over each courtroom.  Please be aware that any requested changes may need to be reviewed and approved by the Judge prior to any changes being made. Please contact the courtroom deputy with your request.


If you intend to incorporate your laptop into the Courtroom Technology, it is imperative you test your laptop with the Courtroom Technology before the day of the appearance.
