The Eastern District of Oklahoma provides equipment and presentation capabilities in all of its courtrooms.  This equipment allows lawyers to present and display many types of evidence and testimony to the courtroom participants in clearer and more comprehensible ways.  If you are interested in a demonstration of the equipment, or receiving training, please contact the judges' courtroom deputy.  Requests for use of the evidence presentation system should be made at least 48-72 hours in advance of the hearing date.

All courtrooms are equipped with video and audio presentation at both attorney tables and the rear presentation cart. The connectors in all courtrooms are HDMI. Attorneys are encouraged to bring their own cables and adapters to connect to the system if needed. The court has some adapters on hand, but is not responsible for counsel failing to verify they have the appropriate adapter. Additionally, while the court has wifi available, attorneys are encouraged to always maintain a copy of their digital documents local on their computer in the event the wifi is not working.

If counsel is expected to use the JERS evidence system during trial, exhibits should be submitted to the Courtroom Deputy at the beginning of trial and meet the following constraints.

All video exhibits submitted to the court for jury review during trial should be below 1GB in size and encoded as H. 264 + MP3 (MP4) format. 

All audio exhibits submitted should be in MP3 format and follow the same size constraints.

All document exhibits should be in PDF or TXT format. 

All photo exhibits should be in JPG, PNG, or GIF format.

All exhibits should be named as: [exhibit number]-[exhibit part]_[exhibit description].[file extension] (Ex. 1-a_Photo.jpg). 

Should parties need to submit any exhibits that cannot be altered to meet these constraints, they must notify the court prior to start of trial.
