If your courtroom is equipped with an Internet connection, you can use Theater to present and annotate your documents.

Displaying documents in Theater

Theater is a separate window that is launched from Trial Cloud. The best way to present in Theater is to have a dual monitor setup, with your screen extended. This allows you to search for documents on your Primary Monitor, which only you can see, and display them on your Secondary Monitor, which will also display to the court.
You can either click on a icon for a document to display it in Theater, or enter the Exhibit Number in Theater itself to pull up the document.
