Mediasite provides a platform for St. Mary's School of Law to offer cutting-edge legal education and extended reach in the legal community. St. Mary’s University School of Law built a courtroom in 1966 to provide students with a real-world environment in which to practice their legal skills. More than 30 years later, the space was outdated, needing a more flexible configuration and a high-tech renovation. A faculty design committee formed and partnered with an audiovisual consulting firm, which presented the committee with three rich media options. The school chose Mediasite by Sonic Foundry for its ease-of-use, talented support personnel and limitless applications. The school recorded multiple three-hour mock trials and is expanding its use of Mediasite to include continuing legal education, a series of curriculum vignettes and a guide to each of the courtroom technologies. Students include their technology experience on their resumes and bring presentation samples to interviews, making themselves more marketable to successful law firms. The school also partners with the State of Texas to webcast Supreme Court oral arguments and state judicial meetings.
