In two previous articles describing electronic courtroom initiatives in the UK and Asia, we saw how cloud computing, legal collaboration software platforms, and intuitive, web-based user interfaces are turning the concept of a “paperless trial” into reality. A great application of this techno-trifecta was seen in Berezovsky v. Abramovich, a huge, complex commercial dispute in the UK. The case introduced to the courtroom electronic trial bundles and access to real-time transcripts and presented documents. The result was dramatic new efficiencies and significant cost-savings—benefits that are now being seen in a number of courtrooms abroad.
In the U.S., however, the story is somewhat different. Yes, there has been a steady progression of improvements to e-discovery software and services; and the adoption of mobile and cloud technologies is gaining momentum among American lawyers. Yet so far we have been comparatively slow to adopt more powerful technologies like those found in the UK and Singapore in our own courtrooms and deposition rooms.
