9. TIMING IS EVERYTHING
Once you've completed your outline and have created all of the desired graphics to help your jury better understand your message, you should make a note where each slide should be displayed. Doing so will help you remember to change each slide at the proper time.
You should rehearse your opening or closing, and use the slides to make sure everything flows smoothly and makes sense. You might find that you need some extra visual support in one area, or that you don't really need it in another. Quickly reading and reviewing your outline is much different than actually presenting it. You should have an idea how long it will take, and adjust if necessary.
It is also helpful to do this in front of others, such as in a mock trial or in front of a jury consultant. If this is not feasible, you might at least present it to others in your office or family. Attorneys generally know all of the fine details of their case so well that when explaining it to a jury, they can easily forget that others do not have the same degree of understanding.
TWITTER bonus tip: Should you need to make adjustments such as skipping a section and your notes indicate which slide number is to be presented, you can type in that number and then hit the Enter key. It will go directly to that slide, preventing you from flashing through a series of slides that you no longer want to use.
