Wi-fi for the courts

17-08-07_1213

Most Crown Courts in England and Wales now have wi-fi computer connections. Lawyers will now be able to look up legal references on their laptops. Jurors, victims and witnesses, will have access to work, business and leisure pursuits in-between court hearings. Even reporters will be able to file copy. What’s more, the courts service has paid for the wireless equipment to be installed in 67 courts. Courts will receive a percentage of the revenue from BT Openzone.
