Paperless exhibit management facilitates the efficient development of exhibit-based arguments by modernizing how exhibits are managed and accessed. Video Exhibits-as-a-Service Video exhibits-as-a-service enable the preparation of compelling video exhibits like accident reconstructions, site inspections and day-in-the-life recordings without the hassle. Experienced legal videographers take care of scripting, filming, editing and effects. In cases where visually demonstrating the circumstances of an event or environment is vital, legal teams can leverage video exhibits-as-a-service to recreate scenarios and convey nuances through accessible on- screen narratives. By bringing events and evidence to life on screen, video exhibits-as-a-service can help juries deeply engage with and evaluate legal arguments. For example, in a premises liability case, the plaintiff lawyer could use video exhibits-as-a-service to recreate the scene of the injury incident. This powerful video allows the jury to fully visualize the circumstances and unsafe conditions that caused the plaintiff's harm. By vividly highlighting the circumstances and events at the heart of a case, video exhibits-as-a-service help juries become fully immersed in legal narratives. Seeing dynamic recreations of incidents, environments, and processes allows jurors to grasp nuances and technical details that may be difficult to convey through written or verbal testimony alone. For example, an accident reconstruction video can display factors like weather, visibility, and vehicle positioning that may have contributed to the incident. Jurors can understand the conditions and chain of events that led to the accident on a deeper, more experiential level. Video exhibits also carry significant persuasive impact by appealing to viewers' aural and visual senses. Impactful videos synchronize with and reinforce the testimonial evidence arguments. By leveraging video exhibits-as-a-service to vividly highlight events and environments, legal teams can inf luence juror perceptions, win trust, and empower them to make more informed case evaluations. Emerging Frontiers: VR, AR and AI The future of testimonial evidence management promises even more revolutionary innovations on the horizon. Two emerging frontiers – virtual/augmented reality and artificial intelligence – are set to further enhance evidence analysis, presentation, and impact.
