FAQ

Zoom, Teams, and Meet are generic tools.  Remote Legal is a purpose-built platform for the legal community to be able to conduct effective remote proceedings. As a proprietary and custom-designed legal platform, it offers specific tools and functionality that enhances the deposition experience.

It’s simple. Connect to the internet on a computer, tablet or phone, so long as you have a webcam and microphone and log in.

Nope. Remote Legal Court Reporting is a web-based platform so no software download is required.

An attorney, paralegal or legal assistant can preload exhibits or upload on the fly. Share only the exhibits you deem necessary, and they are automatically date and timestamped once introduced. Mark and annotate the exhibit for witnesses and attorneys to see in real time.

With Remote Legal, you can preload, manage, and distribute exhibits ahead of the deposition and keep all work product in one place, allowing you to focus on case strategy instead of exhibit organization.

Exhibits are marked directly on our platform during the deposition by the Court Reporter, just like an in-person proceeding. Once marked, they instantly become the officially recorded exhibit.

Marked exhibits will be automatically distributed to the appropriate parties at the conclusion of the deposition and are always available in your personal Remote Legal portal.

All work product lives in your personal portal. This makes it easy to carry documents from one deposition to the next. All documents are entirely searchable and organized by case.

Witness video is date and timestamped, and available immediately after the proceeding.

Unlike a standard "Screen Share," the attorney simply selects the exhibit they want to share and clicks the share button.  Once displayed on screen, our platform allows participants to interact with and annotate exhibits at their own pace on their own screen, as if it was a courtesy copy, creating a more natural experience.

Our Bring-All-To-Me feature focuses all participants on a specific part of an exhibit when attention is needed. When activated, all participants are shown exactly what you want them to see.

In addition to the platform, Remote Legal also provides the court reporter who will not only capture the record but provide the local notary services required in order to swear in the witness.

YES! Remote Legal Court Reporting is a single-source solution for remote depositions. Remote Legal Court Reporting offers both stenographic and electronic means of capturing the record.

An electronic court reporter is the EXACT same role as a traditional stenographer except they use digital technology to capture the audio of the proceeding to be transcribed later. They are notaries who swear witnesses in, handle exhibits, and provide readbacks when necessary. Redundant methods of audio recording are employed ensuring a verbatim testimony capture.

One of the growing regional and professional trends is for the attorney to conduct a deposition but not require the transcript for any number of reasons. Remote Legal Court Reporting’s transcript-less services allow for attorneys to conduct a deposition just like any other and determine when and if they need the transcript. If a transcript is required in our standard ten-day turnaround, no problem. If a transcript is requested six months after the deposition, don’t worry. We preserve the testimony and exhibits and only need ten days from the time of request to turn them back to you. Only pay for what you need, when you need it!

Simple! A flat hourly rate, and that’s it.

Our court reporters are certified on the platform and they are enabled to serve a dual role as court reporter and videographer, specifically trained to handle any audio or video questions that may come up during the deposition - at no additional cost!

Retrieve your trial-ready, admissible video the same day as the proceeding without any charge.

We’ve made the exhibit management process easy and intuitive. Law firms can pre-load, mark, share, and distribute exhibits in their private portal. Work product can be carried over from one deposition to the next.  After conducting thousands of depositions without needing to handle exhibits for an attorney, we are sure you won't need to either.

Lastly, our court reporters are certified on the platform and able to provide in-deposition guidance on how to display, interact, and share exhibits if questions arise.
