Abstract
A method and apparatus for allowing trials and court proceedings to occur in a virtual manner using a one way video session and a two way voice session are disclosed. During the trials or court proceedings, the defendants and their testimony can be viewed by judges and jurors who remain in isolated rooms with their identities masked. Judges and attorneys can verbally intercede during the proceedings via a two way voice session but the video session for the duration of the trial is one way.

- and
- establishing the at least two application sessions between at least two endpoint locations, where a first application session of the at least two application sessions is for providing a one way video session and a second application session of the at least two application sessions is for providing a two way voice session, wherein a video flow direction of the one way video session is selectable by the subscriber, wherein the video flow direction is from a first location to a second location, wherein the second location is associated with the subscriber,
- wherein the first location is where a defendant resides and the second location is where a judge resides.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of instructions, the plurality of instructions including instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for providing a high security video session in a communication network, comprising:
- receiving a request from a subscriber for establishing at least two application sessions via the communication network, where the at least two application sessions are for use in a judicial proceeding;
- and establishing the at least two application sessions between at least two endpoint locations, where a first application session of the at least two application sessions is for providing a one way video session and a second application session of the at least two application sessions is for providing a two way voice session, wherein a video flow direction of the one way video session is setectable by the subscriber, wherein the video flow direction is from a first location to a second location, wherein the second location is associated with the subscriber,
- wherein the first location is where a defendant resides and the second location is where a judge resides.
