The American Guild of Court Videographers is the only organization of its kind in the United States. It has a ten member Advisory Board, made up of some of the most respected of all Legal Videographers. It's members are specifically trained in all aspects of legal video.

After AGCV certification has been obtained, there are continuous updates and news advisories to keep their members informed on such matters as Depositions, Day-in-the-Life documentaries, Settlement Documentaries, Video Wills, Pre-Construction Videos, Investigative Videotaping, Special Investigation Unit (S.I.U.) Videography, etc. Certification involves completing training and passing an exam.

Recognizing the requirements of Rule 30 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedures and understanding there are certain things which cannot be included in legal video evidence that will be introduced into a trial, the AGCV trains professional legal videographers (also known as a forensic videographer or court videographer) in all aspects of visual evidence, including the preparation of the evidence so that it cannot be impeached (prevented from being shown) and in the proper methods of presenting the evidence in the courtroom.

Today, there are no courts in the country that require the electronic court reporter (videographer) producing legal videos be certified, but just as sure as all courts require that the stenographic court reporters be certified, video court reporter certification is going to become mandatory.

The vast majority of the courts in our country are going high-tech and using legal video evidence in almost every trial. Every attorney in the country today needs to have a professional certified legal videographer on call.
