Morning Roundup
summary
Practical rundown of how video changes cases: use of video conferencing to get remote expert testimony, cheap consumer cameras for client diaries, and a one-morning double-vision simulation that nauseates jurors and clinches settlements. Surveillance and outtakes are discoverable by subpoena if preserved; workplace filming risks letting defendants show a polished facility. Day‑in‑the‑life films work when they stay truthful and natural; they influence carriers’ valuations and sometimes force policy changes, but child interviews and covert recording raise serious admissibility and ethics problems.
