ExhibitsPad is a simple and easy-to-use electronic exhibits binder for the triers of fact. Import all the exhibits from a USB drive (documents, photos, videos, audio files), create mirrored iPad devices, and turn each iPad into an electronic exhibits binder. Each juror, arbitrator, or mediator can have all the evidence at their fingertips, speeding up the deliberation process, and ensuring an accurate and fair review of all the evidence. Distribute iPad devices to jurors allowing them to review all the evidence without having to share binders and paper or organize video or audio playbacks. Jurors can review documents, photos, videos, and audio files at their own pace. They can create bookmarks, and save annotated snapshots of documents, photos, even frames of video, to use in discussions with other jurors. With the iPadOS Guided Access feature you can restrict the user to only have access to ExhibitsPad, and an app password can be set up to prevent a user from adding or deleting evidence or exiting the app. This means no other apps can be accessed that would allow independent research, such as social media or the internet. The iPad is solely a device to view, watch, or listen to evidence. With their own electronic exhibits binder, each juror can have all the trial exhibits at their fingertips, speeding up the deliberation process, and ensuring an accurate and fair review of all the evidence. ExhibitsPad replaces paper documents, binders, and rolling TV carts for a more efficient way to view evidence, saving time and money, while being mobile and efficient.
