To view what is available at a specific courthouse and determine if you need to reserve equipment, please scroll down the page and find the courthouse below and read the information thoroughly before making a reservation.
In Florida, the court’s responsibility is to authorize, regulate, and ensure the fair and efficient use of technology when needed, not to blanket‑provide all technology to all parties. The decision rests with the presiding judge or chief judge, guided by the rules and the court’s duty to manage justice effectively. Therefore, the 18th Circuit Courts offer various courtroom technology offerings for the convenience of attorneys and other participants. While every effort is made to keep the equipment in proper working order, the Court does not guarantee its reliability and is not responsible for any issues resulting from a user’s inexperience or improper use.
By using this equipment, the user agrees to hold the Court harmless from any malfunctions and from all related claims, damages, or legal actions of any kind arising from its use. The Court also assumes no responsibility for delays caused by equipment failure. Users are strongly encouraged to bring backup materials suitable for courtroom use in case the technology is unavailable.
We DO NOT provide CD/DVD players, computers, or adapters of any sort. Attorneys and Litigants are responsible for bringing to the courts what they will need to present evidence or conduct business with the court. For example, whatever equipment is brought to use in the courtroom (e.g., laptop, iPad, etc.), persons should also bring all necessary adapters/plugs that will connect their equipment directly to TVs (e.g., HDMI cable to connect to TV, except in Brevard, where HDMI cables are provided as a courtesy). This way, they will be able to play videos, PowerPoint presentations, display records, etc., right from their laptop.
As a rule, the following equipment is usually available for use in the courtrooms. However, depending on the courthouse, demand, and type of trial, some courtesy equipment may not be available unless reserved.
There is limited equipment available at the Viera courthouse so reservations are required at least two business days in advance to guarantee availability.
