Speaker 1: All right, going to do a tutorial today on TrialPad for iPad, trial presentation software you can use in the courtroom. If we just go into the Apple App Store here, it'll turn up the entire bundle that they offer, TranscriptPad, DocReviewPad, and TrialPad. Each app is about $90, however, as far as trial presentation software goes, it's a pretty good price, considering the capabilities it has, and those are some of the things I'm going to be showing you today. So if we open up TrialPad, it'll take you to your landing page with all your different cases. Within each of your cases contains whatever documents you put in there. You can get those through hardwiring it into your computer, transferring files through iTunes, but I will tend to just use the cloud myself and import things through my Dropbox. So to open up one of the case files here, it'll take you into your case. Here's where we kind of store the files we put in here. These are the files I have in here for this particular case. A lot of documents, a few images, in this case a little bit of multimedia. But in terms of this, see, I've got, I do have exhibits and audio of prior hearings. You can pop in video and things of that nature. But this is just your interface. These are the tools you have to work with and prepare things for presentation. This is not what the courtroom sees. What the courtroom sees is what shows up in this region here when you select a document. But this is still not connected, I'm not hardwired in, I need to have an output down here at the bottom. So if I turn it on it will say no external display. What I do is I use Apple TV and I will connect to it, I swipe up from the bottom I get my airplay options and it will show up uh... my display will show up on the apple tv so connected to the apple tv and this is what will show up uh... on the on the screen on the projector on the tv uh... when uh... when we present this uh... to the judge or jury and when i say present I mean, down here at the bottom, you've got these options. Right now, blank is highlighted. And what the courtroom will see is just a black screen with faint white lettering that says Trial Pad for iPad. They will not see this document. They will not see me swiping through these pages to find what I need. They only see this document when I hit Present. Present will project that document on the screen for them. Now, the other option here is freeze. Freeze will leave that page on the screen while I flip through. So I think when I head on there, I just flipped away. It was page three. Page three is still on the television right now in my office through my Apple TV. It would be on the projector in the courtroom or whatever I'm using. But page three is what the audience is seeing. I have now flipped to page five. And now when I press present, now the audience sees page 5. Now I can freeze that. I can flip it back to a blank screen where they only see the black screen and really control what the output is. This way I can get exhibits ready as far as finding exactly what I need before I present it to them so they don't see something inadvertently or I just don't look as bad as not being able to find what I need. They just don't see all that prep work. So we're just going to leave it on present right now. Not that it really matters for what I'm showing you, but up at the top here you have your tools. You've got the ability to rotate your document and do, as opposed to other apps, I think that their callouts are very professional. You can select an area for your callout, and we'll select this area of testimony, and it will make it nice and big for you. And it looks professional the way it comes out and makes it very readable on the screen. When you do your other edits, it will transfer to the callout to underneath. So if I say do a highlight here, and I'm just going to try and highlight his name, that will turn it yellow. And if you see underneath there, it is highlighted on the page below. You can move your callouts up and down and use your other edits here. If I wanted to use my pen, I can redact options as well. So if I was just going to redact that word right out of there, and it's gone, which is good because it was white, So you really can't even tell it was there. You can use a laser pointer as well. I mean, I do carry a laser pointer. But if I'm in this app and I want to point out something specifically, I can just put my finger on it. And that laser pointer will show up. The white circle below just shows you where my finger is. The laser pointer is all they will see. And as soon as I lift my finger, it's gone. If I want to use it again, of course, I have to press it again at the top to get it to come down. But that is a great tool for pointing something out, but not marking your screen. I can clear my edits using the Clear option. We'll just clear those out there. There's an Undo option as well. But these are your primary editing techniques. You can combine those, however, with a split view. this will move your page to one side of your screen on the other side see the red box going around my current document on the other side i can put anything in there that uh... that i'd like to work with i can put in another document switch between the two and i can edit on each of these and I can edit there. The nice part is, even from here, I can do call-outs. There. I can have a call-out that comes from basically... Oops, I've got to press call-out again. I can have a call-out that comes from each side. And they will both display nice and big so you can read them. Even though they come from one, one, it'll make it bigger and put it across the big screen so the jury can see it. If I clear those edits, I'm going to select the other document and clear the edits from that document. Here you can just click back to whichever one you want and whichever one the red box is on when you go back to the single page, that's the document that will stay in the middle. Now this is a great tool because when you do all your edits, you can then email that page, print that page, current page, or the entire document, of course, in order to say admit that into evidence, preserve the edits that someone has made, and present those at a later time. But if it's a document, if it's an exhibit, anything you can put here, when you press it, you long press down on the document, hold your finger down on the document, and it'll give you these options. You can mark it as admitted, and over here, down here on the left, it will show admitted. If we hold it down, you can unmark admit, of course. You can rename that document, but the fun part is, you can assign an exhibit sticker. You can put in a lot of information on here. You can select the location of where your document sticker is going to go, you can change the color of your document sticker, and you just hit apply, and that will affix your document sticker to the beginning, it's a multi-page document, but it will put it on the first page of your document for you. So you've got exhibit C here, that will mark, it'll put the exhibit stickers right on there for you so when you do go to print it, you've got your exhibit sticker. In this instance, it's even marked as admitted. Now that's not something that goes on the document. That is for us to use. TrialPad will use a great little tool called Reports. Create Evidence Report. It has been added to your Reports folder. Okay. Now if we just open that Reports folder, all right, now you're going to see down here, You can do call-outs, but if you want to focus on any particular document, you can simply pinch and zoom. You can zoom into exactly what you want to see. You can do this with other documents that you are presenting in court, but this is a report that TrialPad generates for us. It'll detail your number of documents, number of multimedia, number of key docs. I'll explain key docs in a second, but it'll give you a list of everything. The file names, the page numbers, the number of pages that each one contains, the exhibit number and whether it's been admitted. So you've got all of that document, all of those documents for you to use as far as quick reference to find an exhibit reference or to make sure you've got everything admitted into court. So it can be a very useful tool that way. To get back to our exhibits, we just click back and we've got our exhibits right here. In our exhibits, I want to show you an example of KeeDocs. If I've got a document up here on the screen, let's just scroll to one I know that I've already got in KeeDocs. This is a 96-page transcript. This document has a lot of testimony that was very valuable, however, it was 96 pages long. Now, if I hit key doc, I can do the current page or the entire document. I tend to use current pages just because that's the way it worked with my case, but I've got documents, multimedia, key docs down here at the bottom. In my key docs, I set the current page. So instead of opening during testimony, for instance, opening a 96-page document and trying to scroll through to find page 96, which you can do pretty quick with the slider, I can just go to key docs. I can click this one. I've got a few key docs out of this one. But say 78 of 96, I don't have to scroll through and find it. I can just hit that, jump to the correct page. And even if I'm in another transcript, I can just jump to page 36 of that transcript. So it helps you navigate much more quickly in terms of finding what you need in your casework. So I did click all the way back to cases there. But if I go to exhibits, now I'm back in just where I was before. So I've got all of my exhibits here. And of course, I can always mark it unadmitted. Long press. Remove exhibit sticker. So great, great tool for working with your documents as well as presenting them in court to the judge or jury. Makes it look very professional. I've used TrialPad not just for presentations in court, but presentations at CLEs when we've done speaking engagements. Because wherever the speaker is talking about, you can find it and throw it up there without having to have a script. You don't have to take everything in order. You can just find what you need and put it on the screen. This is why it works so well in the courtroom. Because as that witness is talking about something in particular. You can kick right to what you need, display it on the screen, highlight it, have them read their own testimony straight from the screen, display pictures. A lot of Google Earth images go in here. It's just whatever you might need. It's a great tool. Check it out. Maybe you'll even decide to drop the 90 bucks on it. And I hope this is something that helps you in your practice and helps you in your next case. Bye.
