The partnership will produce special discounts and offers to DSBA members as well as a portion of the proceeds to the bar association. “We thought our members would benefit from Courtroom Connect’s expertise and product line both in the office and in the courtroom. We’re excited that the partnership will allow our members to take advantage of Courtroom Connect’s excellent services,” said Rina Marks, Executive Director of Delaware State Bar. One of the ways DSBA members will benefit from the partnership will be by receiving discounts on public videoconference rooms. Courtroom Connect, through the Remote Counsel Network, provides attorneys with access to over 275 court reporting firms across the United States that have public videoconference rooms available to rent. The network is a highly organized and highly supported program dedicated to serving the legal community. Attorneys can find a room for their expert witness to consult or conduct a deposition over videoconference, saving time and avoiding travel. If law firms would rather own a videoconference unit, Courtroom Connect also provides the equipment and consulting on room design and equipment option. Videoconferencing has become an indispensable means of communication, and Courtroom Connect’s videoconferencing infrastructure allows law firms to communicate with other locations. Any interested law firms can visit DSBA’s Wilmington office to see their videoconferencing set up. Courtroom Connect installed a mobile videoconferencing unit for the DSBA to utilize for CLE events. Law firms can also take advantage of Courtroom Connect’s Law ConnectTM Internet service. The Law Connect Internet platform is the only Internet platform designed specifically for the legal industry. The service can be optimized to support video streaming or videoconferencing over IP. Law firms can choose any line from an ADSL, SDSL or T1 to either support the main network or as a back-up line in case the main line goes down. Courtroom Connect also offers a video-enhanced line that is optimized for video traffic, so law firms can have the highest quality videoconference calls over IP while still utilizing the Internet for other purposes. Courtroom Connect is offering Delaware State Bar Association members a free wireless
