Delium’s evidence presentation solution sets a new benchmark by offering users five distinct ways to view and interact with evidence, surpassing the traditional static view that many evidence presentation solutions still rely on. Tailored views ensure that each party — witnesses, legal teams, and decision-makers — can access and interact with evidence in the most effective way for their specific responsibilities without being constrained by a one-size-fits-all presentation and without needing to conduct additional searches to locate their private analysis.

A recent Delium hearing participant noted “With passive displays, I often find myself needing more context for the passage of text I am being shown. Delium’s interactivity allows me to ensure I have ‘the full picture’ by delivering the whole document, not just the portion of current interest.” Another said, “The ability to be “on the same but personalised page” at all times and for all involved is a GAME CHANGER!”

These testimonials highlight the critical importance of allowing hearing participants to select how they view and interact with the evidence presented. This capability is crucial for several reasons:

1. Minimising Switch Cost: Switch cost refers to the mental and time expense incurred when individuals switch between tasks or view different types of information. In the context of trials or arbitrations, switch cost can occur when legal professionals need to constantly shift their focus between what is being shown to a witness and their pre-existing private analysis. Delium’s customisable viewing options mitigate this issue by allowing users to select a view which enables them to see exactly what they need to fulfill their role, reducing cognitive load and saving valuable time. This enables legal professionals to remain focused on listening to the testimony and analysing the evidence.
2. Tailored Experience: The ability to tailor a software solution to a user’s specific needs is invaluable, especially in a hearing setting. Delium’s customisable viewing options offer significant advantages over a one-view-fits-all approach. For witnesses, Delium replicates the familiar process of handling physical documents, allowing natural interaction with evidence. This capacity reduces potential anxiety and can enhance the witness’s effectiveness during testimony. For legal teams, accessing private pre-hearing analyses alongside public documents ensures that preparatory work is integrated and readily available during hearings. Judges and arbitrators can view evidence in a way that best suits their needs, whether that means comparing documents side-by-side, accessing metadata, or viewing translations. This flexibility ensures that all relevant information is easily accessible, aiding in accurate and timely decisions.
3. Enhanced Comprehension: Thorough comprehension of evidence is critical in legal hearings to ensure accurate decision-making, effective advocacy, and clear communication. By aligning evidence presentation with the specific needs of judges, legal teams and witnesses, Delium enhances efficiency, collaboration and the overall quality of legal proceedings, leading to more effective and persuasive outcomes.

Delium’s five distinct viewing options include:

1. Public Gallery View – View the most recently published document without any associated metadata. This uncluttered presentation is perfect for quick references and courtroom presentations.
2. Public/Private View – Simultaneously compare the public version of a document with your privately annotated version. Keep personal notes visible while referencing the official document for deeper insights.
3. Published View – Access a comprehensive view of the most recent document, including metadata and publication history. Stay updated with the latest information as it automatically refreshes.
4. Side-by-Side View – Compare the last two published documents directly. Ideal for cross-examinations, this feature helps reveal inconsistencies and critical connections.
5. Original Document/Translation View – Compare the original document with its official translation side by side. This ensures accurate interpretation and inclusivity in multilingual cases.

By providing a tailored viewing experience, Delium empowers all participants in a hearing to engage with evidence in the most effective and persuasive way possible.
