The KBA Criminal Justice Section presents a seminar entitled ”Knox County Criminal Court Video Conference Training ”.

The CLE program will be held on Tuesday, December 18, 2012 from 11:00 a.m. - 12 Noon at the Knox County Criminal Court Division I located in the City County Building.

Learn how to schedule video conferences with your client in the TDOC system.

About the training:

Beginning in January Knox County Criminal Courts will begin using a video conferencing system to arraign defendants from prison. This will save on costs, make the system more efficient, and increase safety. In addition, Attorneys will be able to use the system for confidential video conferencing with their clients or witnesses in the prison system across the state. The CLE program on December 18th will be a training on the use of the system by the technicians from Nashville.

Learn about the areas of legal practice that have grown to rely on video conferencing (VC) including the taking of depositions, communicating with clients via secure audio/visual systems, the courts’ use of video for violent offenders and using video to increase capacity and efficiency. For attorneys who are already engaged in video conferencing this program will build on their knowledge and provide them information on the latest in developing hardware and software technologies than can assist them in building an effective video conferencing program.

Some of the topics to be discussed include:

• How lawyers can take depositions, schedule and conduct hearings more efficiently.
• How records of client-lawyer discussions can be secured via video recording and archiving.
• How videoconferencing helps accelerate cases through the system.
