[blindLaw] Entering Evidence

[Sanho Steele-Louchart]

Tom, 

It's a little sad how excited I was to put my O and M instructor hat on for a second. In brief, I strongly recommend teaching yourself how to navigate the courthouse and courtrooms where you'll practice most. So far, the courthouses have been happy for me to spend some time looking around when court is not in session. I could also go toward the sound of the witness' voice.

It said that part of it would require me to go up to the witness and ask them about the evidence. My question is If I cannot see where I am going, How do I get to then before my time is up? I foresee that I would take forever getting to the podium to show the witness the evidence I need them to verify. Do those of you already practicing have a way to make this an easier and quicker process? I was thinking maybe having an assistant lawyer there to do it on your behalf maybe? If it helps I am wanting to know how it would be done in a Florida courtroom.
