Ted Brooks, a San Francisco-based trial technology consultant and frequent contributor to LTN, reviews TrialDirector 6, inData's upgrade to its litigation presentation software, on his Court and Trial Technology blog.

"If you?ve never before used trial presentation software in your practice, now is the time to consider it. If you?ve used previous versions of TrialDirector or other trial presentation software, now is the time to consider springing for the upgrade," says Brooks. Among the improvements, he says, is "the return of the Grid View. The Document Manager tab now brings back the fully functional, editable, and sortable database view," that was offered in past versions.

The Transcript Manager has been revamped, and now users can input the page and line designations to the start and end of clips, or select the desired text. "A clip wizard helps users assemble [clips], or you can use the segment editor," notes Brooks.
