Submitting and Presenting Audio/Video Exhibits:
Under Administrative Order 38-22, parties seeking to submit audio or video evidence must obtain permission from the judicial officer. Do not submit audio/video via e-filing; it will be rejected. For in-court presentation of digital photos or video, the offering party must bring a device that can accept a court-provided USB ClickShare to display to courtroom screens, and also bring the media on a removable device for admission as an exhibit as directed by the Order.
