Two pretrial conferences in patent cases going on this morning in Marshall. Visiting Federal Circuit judge William Bryson is conducting one in the big courtroom in the federal courthouse, so Judge Gilstrap has moved over to the historic county courthouse on the square and is handling another.
Electronics, first installed for Judge Schneider a few weeks ago, are working fine, although the audio may need a bit of tweaking. But the layout with Judge Gilstrap back on Judge Hall's reconstructed bench (which is normally empty as used by the county commissioners court) and the courtroom deputy, court reporter and law clerks on the county commissioners' bench is working fine.
