As a trial professional, you know that keeping track of important information and staying organized during a trial can be a challenging task. That's why having the right tools is critical to your success. In this blog post, we will discuss how using an iPad with GoodNotes can help you streamline your workflow and improve your overall trial experience.
GoodNotes: The Perfect Companion for Your iPad
GoodNotes is a powerful note-taking app that lets you take notes, annotate PDFs, and keep all your case-related information in one place. The app is designed to be easy to use, and it comes with a range of templates to help you keep your notes organized and easily accessible.
With GoodNotes, you can take notes during a trial using an Apple Pencil, which is an optional purchase but highly recommended as it makes note-taking much easier. With one hand on your trial computer and the other hand grasping your Apple Pencil, you can write down notes, organize exhibits, and keep track of the case information you need.
One of the best features of GoodNotes is the ability to save your notes to the cloud in real-time. This means you can access your notes from anywhere and on any device, making it easy to reference important information during a trial.
Using GoodNotes in Your Workflow
GoodNotes has a number of templates that you can use to keep your notes organized and easy to access. Here are a few of the templates we recommend:
Case Summary: This template is a great way to keep track of important information about your case, such as the case name, location, judge and clerk names, and contact information for your attorneys.
Calendar: A calendar template is a useful tool for keeping track of important dates and events during a trial, such as jury selection or witness testimonies.
Misc Notes: This template is a great place to keep track of attorney names and photos, billing information, and any other miscellaneous notes you need to remember.
Witness Exhibits: This template allows you to keep track of all the exhibits that are presented during the trial, including the exhibit name, number, and when they were shown to the judge or jury.
GoodNotes is also designed to integrate well with PDFs, so you can easily import PDFs of attorney outlines, transcripts, and joint exhibit lists into your notebooks. Additionally, the app's AI recognition technology makes it easy to search your handwritten notes, which can be very helpful when you need to find specific information quickly.
