September 27th, 2007 by Blake Boyd

Lately the trend I see in renovated/new courtrooms is the installation of Plasma TV’s instead of ceiling mounted projectors. I’ve also been surprised with the amount of delivery companys setting up older courtrooms with a plasma for an upcoming trial. People, this is not optimal.

September 26th, 2007 by Blake Boyd
