Overview

The JurisTrial app gives you a full set of markup tools so you can call attention to the parts of an exhibit that matter most. While reviewing a document, you can apply highlighters in a range of colors, draw circles and arrows to direct the court’s focus, and stamp the proof line with specialized stamps. These annotations are designed for live trial presentation, so they’re quick to apply on an iPad and stay attached to the exhibit you’re working with.

Tips

Plan your markup before you’re in front of the court. Pre-marking key exhibits in JurisTrial means you can present cleanly and confidently without fumbling for tools live.
Stamps applied to the proof line are meant to draw the court’s attention to specific evidence. Double-check each stamp before presenting to make sure it lands on the correct line of the correct exhibit.
