TOOLS TO ENRICH THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE

Technology
Technology is quickly assuming a greater role in the practice of law.  Cumberland students gain practical experience in its use from access to state-of-the-art facilities:

• The Trial Courtroom is equipped with “smart boards” for presentation, a computerized projection and sound system, digital video, and a plasma television. 
   
• All classrooms have “smart boards” and smart podia.
   
• The Advanced Trial Advocacy Courtroom is updated to reflect the technology available in courtrooms across the country. 

Additionally, the Advanced Trial Advocacy Course includes database and Internet access at each counsel table, as well as delivers special instruction in reproducing evidence with three-dimensional digital presenters, video, and DVD re-enactments.  Digital video is used to critique and polish courtroom skills.

The Cumberland wireless network service provides laptop users with fast and convenient access to e-mail and Web-based services from anywhere on campus.
