The Duval County Courthouse courtrooms feature traditional and modern technology to create a robust experience for digitally presenting and viewing trial evidence:

HEARING ROOMS: Court Technology provides an Audio/Visual cart that includes a large monitor and speakers. Attorneys are responsible for providing the equipment (e.g., laptop) or device (e.g., iPad) needed to conduct their business during a hearing.
