San Francisco - The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) turned to Advanced Courtroom Technologies, Inc. (ACT) to provide a state-of-the-art demonstrative presentation system for the antitrust case of the century, U.S. v. Microsoft. Judge Penfield Jackson's courtroom was recently retrofitted by ACT with numerous monitors and a sophisticated LCD projection system that were all connected through switching equipment to a DOJ computer, Laserdisc player, and ELMO. In fact, a one-of-a-kind electronic podium was constructed for this trial, only days prior to opening statements.

Bill Smith, the President and founder of ACT, states that "This is one of the most sophisticated electronic courtroom presentation systems ever used in a trial." Bill Smith also states that, "These types of systems allow all parties to plug their computers and other devices into the display monitors that can be controlled at either the podium or the counsel's table." Bill Smith goes on to state that, "We have found that these presentation systems tend to accelerate trials and allow Jurors and Judges to absorb and retain more of the information."

ACT, a Bay Area company based in Sausalito, California, was founded by Bill Smith in 1995. ACT is a leader in electronic courtroom presentations locally and nationwide, providing its clients with the ability to make powerful presentations by integrating document images, exhibits, photos, graphics, video and animations into a seamless presentation. ACT retrofits courtrooms with electronic presentation systems both on a permanent and an ad hoc basis.
