Attendance Tracker

Google Meet attendance tracker for legal depositions & arbitrations

In virtual litigation, remote depositions, dispute arbitrations, and sworn witness examinations over Google Meet, documenting the exact entry and exit timestamps of attorneys, witnesses, court reporters, and translators is critical for the official court record. Here is how legal teams automate attendance logs.

Why Remote Legal Proceedings Require Precise Logs

• Witness Appearance Verification: Establish verifiable proof of when a deponent or expert witness entered the virtual deposition room.
• Billing Defense & 0.1h Increments: Law firms billing clients by the tenth of an hour (6-minute intervals) can instantly export accurate session durations.
• Court Reporter & Translator Tracking: Document the presence of certified language interpreters and stenographers during sworn testimony.
• Zero Screen-Scraping Flaws: Connects directly to the Google Meet REST API for verified server-side connection records.

Key Workflows for Law Firms & Mediators

1. Real-Time In-Call Appearance Monitoring

Paralegals or managing attorneys can keep the Attendance Tracker panel open in the Google Meet side panel to monitor arriving counsel and witnesses without disrupting ongoing examination.

2. Automatic Google Drive Case Archival

As soon as the proceeding concludes, Attendance Tracker generates a dedicated, timestamped tab in your firm's Meet Attendance Tracker spreadsheet. Records can be downloaded as PDF or CSV to attach to court exhibits or case files.

3. Multi-Day Trial & Arbitration Series Tracking

For arbitrations or depositions spanning multiple consecutive days, Attendance Tracker groups all sessions by Google Calendar recurring event IDs to summarize total appearance hours per counsel or party.

Ideal for:

• Litigation Law Firms: Document appearance times for remote depositions and pre-trial conferences.
• Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Centers: Maintain official attendee logs for virtual mediation and binding arbitration sessions.
• Court Reporting Agencies: Track deponent and attorney attendance for transcript preparation.
• Corporate Legal Departments: Log external counsel participation during internal investigations and shareholder hearings.
