Pexip Secure Meetings for Justice launches new features to boost effectiveness of virtual courts

In our continuous journey to support the digital transformation of justice systems around the world, we are announcing significant enhancements to Pexip Secure Meetings for Justice. This update introduces new features such as human interpreter support and the ability to pin participants, designed to enable more effective and engaging virtual legal proceedings. 

Human interpreter support: bridge language barriers  

Recognizing the need for effective communication in legal environments, our platform now includes features specifically designed to improve the clarity of interpretation services during proceedings. This functionality reduces background noise and adjusts audio levels so that the interpreter is more audible. This enhancement ensures that all participants, regardless of their language skills or hearing capabilities, can understand and engage fully. 

Pinning participants: enhance focus where it matters 

Another enhancement to our platform is the ability to pin participants and customize the layout to reflect the structure of traditional courtrooms. This functionality allows crucial speakers, such as judges, to be positioned prominently at the center, with the prosecution and defense appropriately placed on either side. This arrangement not only enhances visibility during complex legal discussions but also mirrors the familiar setup of physical courtrooms. The ability to organize and pin participants ensures that all attendees can focus their attention effectively, enhancing the clarity and structure of the virtual proceedings. 

User feedback drives feature development 

The inclusion of human interpreter support and pinning capabilities was driven by feedback from our users and our understanding of the dynamics of legal interactions. These features address two pivotal aspects of legal proceedings: comprehension and focus. 

• Comprehension: Legal outcomes can hinge on the precise understanding of terminology, intent, and nuance. Our human interpreter support facilitates this, ensuring that language barriers do not impede justice.
  
• Focus: Given the structured nature of legal proceedings, the ability to highlight key speakers helps maintain an organized flow and ensures that important details are not overlooked.
