AI-Powered Body-Cam Review for Criminal Defense Attorneys

The average criminal case includes hours of body cam footage, interrogation videos, jail calls, and extensive written and image evidence. While digital discovery can be a powerful tool, it is not humanly possible to sift through all this data—JusticeText is changing that. In this webinar, former Public Defender Yasmin Herdoiza will share how thousands of defense attorneys are using AI to transcribe video evidence, highlight critical moments, build timelines, surface inconsistencies, and uncover critical facts instantly, helping level the playing field for their clients. TACDL members receive an exclusive discount to JusticeText, so join the webinar to learn more and find out how to upload your first three videos completely free.
