What does a trial technician do before the courtroom opens?

Long before a jury takes their seats, the trial technician has already been at work. Setup usually begins hours ahead of the first witness, not minutes.

• Confirm courtroom AV systems function properly with the case files
• Test monitors, projectors, and audio feeds for every station in the room
• Load exhibits, video clips, and presentation software onto backup systems
• Run through the day's presentation order with the attorney
• Set up redundant equipment in case anything fails mid-trial

By the time the judge calls the courtroom to order, everything has already been checked twice.
