This new product introduction was positioned as a "flight simulator for lawyers" allowing law students and professors to utilize this CD-ROM as an interactive skills development tool. For the first time ever the expensive laser disk classroom environment was available to individual users, marketed directly to law firms, law schools, and trial lawyers themselves via postcard teaser, brochure and bounceback card, and trade show support materials. The headline captured the essence of the product, extending into all aspects of the highly successful campaign.

Eliminate the Process of Trial & Error...Because there's no room for Error in a Trial.
      The Interactive Courtroom(R) is a multimedia video simulation to keep your trial skills on the cutting edge. Now more than ever, it pays to improve your mastery of evidence and hone your tactics before entering the courtroom using a trial and error approach that's risk-free to your clients!

Now on CD-ROM!

      This same award-winning legal training tool originally created at the Stanford Law School Interactive Video Project on laserdisc, is now available to you in a convenient, easy to use CD-ROM program for Windows or Macintosh.
      We offer a series of modules ranging from evidentiary foundations, client counseling, and motions, to direct and cross-examination skills…all right on your desktop to access with ease. It's fun to test your own abilities at your own pace anytime, or break into small groups and have rousing debates as you learn from each other!

Take the law into your own hands...literally.

      Imagine having the Federal Rules of Evidence at your fingertips in an instant, and renown trial lawyers with words of wisdom at the click of a button. Our multi-layered approach to information allows you to go far beyond procedural rules and delve deeper into the strategic and emotional impact of each objection. You can stop the trial mid-sentence to think and respond to the scenarios on the screen, and witness many different courtroom styles to compare and contrast with your own. Best of all, you can familiarize yourself with subtleties like courtroom demeanor and effective framing of your questions, before you set foot in the actual trial.

Stand and Deliver.

      Each action-packed digitized video simulation is conducted in real time, so you'll feel the pressures and pace of a courtroom appearance, and anxiously await the judge's ruling on your objection. You'll hear the explanations and rules of evidence used to support the judge's ruling, learn from an expert what you're doing effectively and ineffectively, and receive a customized evaluation at the end of the session.
      Admissibility of critical evidence rides on your answers, and testimony shifts accordingly. It's a sophisticated, rapid-fire approach to testing your instincts, building your confidence, and preparing you to think fast on your feet.

Learn more, costs less & it's MCLE-approved!

      Who says education can't be fun? Studies show interactive multimedia reduces your time and expenses for training, while more than doubling the standard retention rate for learning. You will brush up on litigation skills while saving travel time, billable hours, and extensive mock trial training and seminar expenses. Plus, you can earn MCLE credit, while gaining a competitive advantage over your peers!
