The professional home for legal videographers since 1995.

Mission

Advancing the legal video profession.

That tagline is the organizing principle behind every course, certification, publication, and community moment the Guild creates. The work matters because the record matters — and the record matters because, for the 99% of civil cases that never reach trial, the deposition or evidentiary video is the trial.

How we do it — community, courses, and content

The AGCV support legal videographers by providing:

• Community. A working community of litigation technology professionals — legal videographers, trial techs, court reporters, paralegals, and litigation support professionals. This is the place to make connections, ask questions, grow your network, and expand your experience and expertise.
• Courses. Our courses cover the gamut, and give you a no-cost, no-risk way to learn if the legal video field is for you. Enroll in the free Legal Video Career Path orientation course, or get started in the profession with a Masterclass and Certification built for you and whatever place you are at in your career: CDVS for depositions, CEVS for evidence, CTTS for trial technology.
• Content. Field guides, articles, and resources developed by professionals and experts in the field.

Audience

Our focus is on legal videographers and trial technology professionals. Whether you are new or experienced, if you want to better serve litigators, we want to help serve you and grow your practice.

Where we sit in the profession

AGCV is the only U.S. certifying body that issues credentials for all three phases of legal video — capture (CDVS), evidence (CEVS), and trial technology (CTTS) — and we publish the free Legal Video Career Path course that explains the work to newcomers and helps them choose which credential to pursue first.
