Videoconferencing moves into Canada

As reported by this blog, technology has increasingly affected the way many industries operate. One of these technological advancements has been that of videoconferencing, which has allowed professionals to conduct meetings without traveling across the country, doctors to see patients in rural parts of their state and lawyers to meet with clients that may be in penitentiaries far away from the courts they're being tried in.

And, according to the Winnipeg Sun, the Manitoba Justice Department is planning on installing videoconference technologies to allow defense lawyers to stay in touch with clients who are waiting to hear back on cases and hearings.

The technology was officially implemented in the court system last week, when the Justice Department began inviting lawyers to use the videoconferencing system to connect with inmates located in the Pas Correctional Center and the Agassiz Youth Center.

Lawyers with a Law Society of Manitoba email address will be able to log onto a videoconferencing application that allows them to connect to the justice centers and communicate with their clients, regardless of where they are. Litigators can use any device with an internet connection to do this.

"We're trying to make it as flexible as possible over a fairly wide number of hours," Irene Hamilton, an administrator in the system, told the source.

As this technology begins to be implemented worldwide, attorneys in the Midwest may benefit from partnering with Milwaukee court reporters that not only offer realtime court reporting, but also video deposition services. These professionals will be able to provide a private space for lawyers to videoconference with clients, as well as deposition transcripts should they need it.
