Nortel Government Solutions Donates Technology to NJC to Enhance Judicial Education

8/17/2007

Nortel Government Solutions recently donated a state-of-the-art digital courtroom software system, which will enhance judicial education, to The National Judicial College (NJC).

“This is a very sophisticated piece of technology,” said Steve Beckman, division vice president for Nortel Government Solutions. “The National Judicial College is a phenomenally advanced educational facility. Nortel is proud to assist the NJC in the training of judges nationwide.”

This system provides electronic evidence capture and presentation along with digital audio and video transcripts, explained Joseph Sawyer, distance learning and technology manager for the NJC.
“The capability of this software is the most advanced out there,” added Sawyer. “We are grateful to Nortel Government Solutions for providing us the opportunity to enhance judicial education with this powerfully advanced system. Our judges will be amazed and they will benefit greatly from it as will their communities and courtrooms.

Designed and integrated by Nortel Government Solutions, a U.S. company wholly owned by Nortel, the system it includes hardware and software donated by ExhibitOne, MediaEdge, Levare and BEA Systems. The NJC system is similar to digital courtrooms in Las Vegas and Rockville, Md., operated and maintained by Nortel Government Solutions for the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

“Digital courtrooms – with real-time, multimedia access to evidence, testimony and other information – are the wave of the judicial future,” said Chuck Saffell, chief executive officer, Nortel Government Solutions. “Working with The National Judicial College, we’ve created an environment where judges can be exposed to the latest technology and hone their technology literacy and skills.”
