Becker Glynn Litigators To Try One of the First Virtual Federal Court Cases in Boston

Becker Glynn’s litigators are scheduled to start a three week virtual trial in federal district court in Boston in July.  In one of the earliest federal trials of its kind, counsel will appear remotely using the Zoom platform hosted by the district court.  Witnesses will be questioned and exhibits introduced though the remote platform.  Zeb Landsman, who leads the trial team, says that the trial poses some challenges, but also provides benefits, including cost and travel savings for clients.  “While certain aspects of a traditional trial can’t be replicated using computer screens,” Mr. Landsman said, “we’ve learned from our trial preparation – including Zoom depositions – that remote questioning provides some helpful efficiencies to the process, not the least of which is a cost savings for clients.”
