Monday Morning Humor: Dumb Ways to Use Technology In Court . . . đŸ˜±

One of the pillars of Zooming into a hearing that I impress on everyone is to be weary of what is behind you. Avoid having a messy kitchen, bedroom, inappropriate pictures, or any scenery that might be offensive or off-putting to others. Apparently, this gentleman did not get the memo about not committing the very violation he is being brought to court for while attending his Zoom hearing. 🙄

Podcast #1 (Part 1 of 3): Judge Herbert B. Dixon, Jr. (Ret.) - His observations from the Bench.

Judge Herbert B. Dixon, Jr. (Ret.) served two consecutive 15-year terms as a Judge for the Superior Court for the District of Columbia.  Judge Dixon is a columnist for The Judges’ Journal ABA magazine , chair of Superior Court’s Electronic Filing Pilot Project and a senior judicial adviser to the Center for Legal and Court Technology (formerly the Courtroom 21 Project), an initiative of the Marshall-Wythe Law School at the College of William & Mary and the National Center for State Courts.  Our discussion was so informative that I split the interview into three parts!  In Episode #1, Judge Dixon and I discuss how he has seen how attorneys' use of technology in the courtroom change over the years, effective use of slides and animations in the courtroom and what he sees as attorneys' technological proficiency today and in the future.
