Remote Depositions are nothing new and for most of you have become routine. However, attorneys are still struggling to find the best way to handle exhibits. In this seminar you will discover how you can mark and introduce your exhibits in Real Time, virtually.

Additionally, videotaped depositions are becoming increasingly important in a virtual world. Discover why this is the case and ways to make video clip designations and annotations and so much more. Feel free to invite Paralegals/Professional Assistants, who may benefit from this seminar.

In this seminar we will review:
