Atticus is a portable multimedia and presentation unit featuring the latest in courtroom technology. It is designed to make trials easier and quicker for judges, attorneys and most importantly, the jury. "It's a pretty well-known fact that juries retain more information when they are shown something. This makes it far easier on everyone when it comes to decision time." said Gary Lee, Courtroom Technology Manager at RSI (Kansas City, MO), the makers of Atticus.

    Judge James E. Graves, Jr. spearheaded the campaign to bring Atticus to the Hinds County Courthouse. He has the Hinds County Law Library Committee, the Hinds County Bar Association and the Hinds County Board of Supervisors to thank for backing the effort. "I felt strongly about this project and I'm proud of the fact we did not have to use taxpayers money" he said. Judge Graves and Judge Green are the only judges in Hinds County who utilize Atticus' Courtroom 2000.

    RSI custom built the Hinds County Atticus to meet the vision of Judge Green's Courtroom 2000. It features a 72" x 96" parabolic screen for outstanding viewing capabilities. In addition, attorneys are able to display documents and annotate them with a light pen, utilize a digital color printer that prints video stills on the fly and play 3-D animation, video and audio clips using state-of-the-art equipment.

    RSI maintains an electronic courtroom in Jackson County, Missouri. In addition, Atticus has been installed in several courtrooms throughout the country including US Attorneys in Charlotte, NC and Salt Lake City , Utah, and two bankruptcy courts in Nevada. RSI is an applied information management company providing an integrated approach to high quality, efficient products and services for legal and corporate clients nationwide.
