Electronic Evidence Display in the Courtrooms

The Eastern District of Washington has electronic evidence display systems in all courtrooms in Spokane, Yakima, and Richland. While the functions of the equipment are the same, some of the equipment may differ between the courtrooms. This is an overview of what is available.

We highly recommend you familiarize yourself with the equipment before you use it. This is especially true if you want to connect your laptop computer.
