[blindlaw] Criminal Prosecution/Defense in Court

[James Fetter]

Fooor my part, I would like to hear about experiences handling visual evidence in various situations: in court, during discovery, in presentations, etc. I’m actually not all that worried about being able to handle such evidence. I can’t believe that either Aira, a legal secretary, etc. could not provide the necessary descriptions, especially if I had any lead time at all before having to deal with the evidence in some way. But I want to have a good answer—a tried and true method—that I can present to a nervous prospective employer.

My previous employer decided not to make me an offer in no small part because they assumed that I would be unable to handle visual evidence. I would definitely appreciate knowing how to put to rest a future employer’s fears about this. Please feel free to respond directly to me, if you prefer. Thanks.
