Introducing Laser Trail in TrialPad

Written by LIT SOFTWARE | Aug 27, 2025 5:30:00 AM

We’ve always believed that courtroom technology should feel seamless, intuitive, and powerful. And we listen closely to the attorneys who use our apps every day. That’s why when Chuck Slane of TSR Injury Law in Minneapolis, MN suggested an idea, we turned it into a reality:

"The LIT SUITE is already the most powerful software I use in my practice. Now they are adding Laser Trail to TrialPad. Can’t wait to use the new feature. Love seeing an idea I suggested come to life."

 

Meet Laser Trail: The newest presentation tool in TrialPad.

Courtroom presentations aren’t just about putting evidence on a screen. They’re about guiding attention and telling a story with clarity. Laser Trail helps you do exactly that.

With Laser Trail, you can draw a line across a document or exhibit. A subtle trail follows your movement for a moment, then fades away. It’s a simple but powerful way to direct the jury’s eyes exactly where you want them—without cluttering the screen.

 

 

 

Why Laser Trail Matters

Jurors can only focus on so much at once. A screen full of highlights or callouts can be overwhelming. A clean screen, guided by deliberate focus, is persuasive.

Laser Trail gives you:

✅ Precision to emphasize the exact word, phrase, or section that matters

✅ Clean exhibits that remain distraction-free

✅ Flow and control throughout your examination or argument

 

Get Laser Trail

Getting the new Laser Trail tool is easy! Just update TrialPad in the App Store on your iPad or Mac. The new Laser Trail tool is available in TrialPad version 25.9.1.

 

 

 

How To Use Laser Trail

Activating Laser Trail in TrialPad is simple and intuitive:

Open an exhibit in TrialPad, tap the Laser Tool and select the Laser Trail icon in the tool palette. Then, use your finger (or Apple Pencil) to draw attention where you need it. The trail will follow your motion briefly, then fade away, keeping the screen clean.

Whether you’re circling a phrase, showing a path on a map, or drawing the jury’s eyes across a demonstrative, Laser Trail gives you a natural, dynamic way to guide attention in real time.

Attorneys know that jurors remember what they see more than what they hear. Laser Trail sharpens that memory, leaving a lasting impression where it counts.

This is courtroom technology built not just to work, but to win.
