Introduction
 It is exciting to supply you with the information on how to benefit from the ever increasing popularity of using video evidence in the courtrooms all over the nation. The techniques used in the past are simply not working with today’s juries. Right now the Generation X and Generation Y populations are ever increasingly filling the jury box and they are expecting more “state-of-the-art” presentations from the attorneys.
The attorneys that are going into the courts and not taking advantage of the newest methods of visual presentation are the ones that are coming out the loser. This is where the fully trained and certified professional videographer plays a major part in getting a favorable settlement for the attorney’s clients. Keep in mind, as of today, not one court in the nation, including the Federal courts, are requiring the legal videographer be certified, it’s the attorneys that are demanding it! It goes without saying, they all require the stenographic court reporter be certified and hopefully, in the very near future, all courts will also require the electronic court reporter be fully trained and certified.
The AGCV stands
ready to offer
the service
of training
and certifying
any professional
videographer that
desires to
take advantage
of this exploding
video opportunity. Your
name and contact
information
should be in
the Rolodex
of every attorney
in your service
area. When
certified,
your company
information
will appear
in our “International
Directory of
Legal Videographers” (www.legalvideographers.com)
and can be
sourced by
any attorney
the world
over.
The AGCV highly
suggests
that
you
not
even
attempt
to
produce
video
evidence
under
oath
(depositions)
unless
you
have
gone
through
the
formal
process
of
becoming
certified. The
only
reason
the
uncertified
videographers
get
by
with
sub-standard
legal
video
is
that
the
attorneys
expect
the
videographer
to
be
the “expert” and
not
themselves.
The
courts
are backed
up for
months
all over
the country
and there
is no
season
on filing
law suits! Video
evidence
has expedited
court
hearings
a great
deal
and is
the real
solution
to eliminating
the months
of delay
in getting
a civil
case
to trial. Continue

the following
pages
for complete
detailed
information
on how
you can
become
fully
qualified
to meet
the video
needs
of the
legal
profession
and benefit
financially
from
this gratifying
and prestigious
profession. |
