Tips from the Courthouse: Don't Try Be Disney!

Trial Presentation is intended to keep attorneys organized and efficient, while allowing the judge and jury to easily follow your facts and opinion. Some attorneys will attempt to bring “smoke & mirrors” to WOW the audience in the attempts to hold their attention and sway their minds.  Use the technology to give you quick access to evidence and clearly highlight your key points.  Don’t use technology to try and overwhelm the jury with fancy animation and colorful illustration. If it doesn't bring content and clarity to to story Forget It.  Juries see through this tactic and you may lose their trust. They do respect getting to information quickly and clearly, because ultimately their main objective is get the info, decide on the case and GO HOME!
