The launch of Courtroom Live was announced today, providing access to live trial video and on-demand video of trial highlights. The service aims to assist attorneys in trial preparation, expert witness evaluation, and education and training.
The site includes only prominent or precedent-setting trials, and only has a handful available for viewing so far. These include a few cases related to consumer goods or the retail industry, e.g., Valassis v. Advo (seeking cancellation of Valassis' agreement to acquire Advo); Tellez v. Dole Food (personal injuries sustained on banana plantations); McDarby v. Merck (Vioxx product liability); and McCreary v. Wyeth (product liability based on Wyeth's HRT drug).
