The Center for Legal and Court Technology obtains most of its technology through product loans from a variety of companies throughout the world. Companies that agree to support the Project through technology, services, or other forms of support become "Courtroom 21 Participating Companies." Ordinarily, a Participating Company agrees to support the Project with the expectation that the company will periodically upgrade the product supplied. The Center uses the technology as realistically as possible and, as appropriate, advises its many visitors about the technology. There is no financial charge to become a participating company. Customarily for-profit firms seek to become Participating Companies in order to obtain marketing exposure for their products and to gain feedback about the strength and weaknesses of their products as they relate to the legal community.
As a Courtroom 21 Participating Company you will have the opportunity to:
- Describe your company as a “Courtroom 21 Participating Company”
- Describe your product as “installed/used in Courtroom 21”
- Have Courtroom 21 available for demonstrations for your company
