But It's Back At the Office!

The judge seemed to overlook the logistical problem when she said (at our third side-bar of the day), "Well can you establish that you did write to them about this or not?" Of course I could. Just not right now. Not in the middle of the trial, in open court, in full view (if not full hearing) of the jury. My office was two blocks away and my correspondence file was right there in the file--back at the office. "But its back at the office," while true, was no help with this judge. She sustained the objection. I tried to recoup the next day with the hard copy of the letter but by then we'd moved on to other problems. So I trucked the whole file (all ten banker's boxes) to the courtroom just in case I needed them. I wish I had signed up for KeyComm's remote network access earlier.
Trial lawyers have historically trucked boxes and boxes of useless documents from the office to the courtroom "just in case." Now that true remote access to the office network is a reality, you can say "Sure, just give me a minute to log on" instead of "But its back at the office." More importantly, your sense of confidence and your obvious organizational skills will likely rub off on the client, and even occasionally, on the judge. You can access your network from anywhere that has a phone line--instantly, inexpensively and with a realism that will make anyone looking over your shoulder think you brought the network to the courtroom (instead of just your laptop).
Give the network specialists at KeyComm a call. They will blend your network and your laptop into a system that takes your entire office to court--inside your briefcase. Leave all those backbreaking, non-searchable, boxes of hard-copy files back at the office, where they bloody well belong.
