Control Capabilities
Hoffman designed the control room to be managed by one or two individuals, however
there is enough room for four if needed. A joystick on the console operates
the remote camera control for all classrooms. The operator has a master recording
system, production switcher, and a 32-input mixing board connected to all the
microphones, as well as a master intercom system. Mock trial proceedings, mediations
and negotiations, and classroom lessons can be recorded for further study and
dissection at a later date.
Karl Manheim, a law school faculty member says "Judges will need the ability
to control audio and video routing, while facilitating the sharing of data and
evidence among attorneys, witnesses, and jurors. The courtroom of the 21st century
is an electronic one. Digital evidence, remote witnesses, and sophisticated
document management systems are becoming commonplace. The face of the courtroom
is changing and Loyola Law School is at the center of change with the innovative
technology of the Albert H. Girardi Advocacy Center."
Karl Manheim is a professor at Loyola Law School.
