Court Technology
***DISCLAIMER***
The Court provides the use of courtroom technology as a courtesy to legal professionals and court participants. The Court will make every effort to ensure the equipment is working properly. However, the Court does not guarantee the reliability of the equipment. The Court is not responsible for the user’s own negligence or lack of knowledge in operation of the equipment. The user agrees to hold the Court harmless for any failure of the equipment and any and all claims, damages, actions, causes of action, suits in equity whatever kind of nature as a result of the use of the equipment. The Court advises the users of this equipment that the Court will not be responsible for any delays caused by the failure of the equipment. Users of the equipment should have back-up material suitable for use in the courtroom in the event of equipment failure.
In addition, if the use of certain video applications (e.g., Zoom) be needed for a court hearing or trial, it is the responsibility of the legal professionals or hearing participants to ensure those applications have a functioning account (if needed) PRIOR to arriving at the court house. The Court is not responsible for inoperable or incompatible video applications or the lack of poor connectivity for parties outside of the courthouse.
The Duval County Courthouse courtrooms feature traditional and modern technology to create a robust experience for digitally presenting and viewing trial evidence:
HEARING ROOMS: The Duval County Courthouse Hearing Rooms have a large wall-mounted display with speakers. There is an HDMI cable on the conference table available for connecting to the large display. Attorneys are responsible for providing the device (e.g., laptop or tablet) and accessories (e.g. adapters, HDMI extension cables) needed to conduct their business during a hearing.
COURTROOMS: Upon request, Court Technology can provide a large screen "Smart Board" or an All-in-One Evidence Cart with Document Projector (a.k.a. "ELMO") for use during a trial.

***Please Note***
Reasonable efforts are made to support technology brought from outside of the courthouse for use during trial (e.g., laptops, tablets, video adapters, and/or video switchers/splitters); however, it is strongly recommended legal counsel use the equipment provided by the Court. To request a demo of the available equipment and/or request equipment for a trial, please access the Equipment Training Scheduling Form and Courtroom Equipment Request.
