Studies show that visual perception and visual communication have a distinct impact in a jury setting. Appreciating how jury trials are fundamentally different from other communication settings is critical to the effective design of trial visuals.

Each chapter offers substantive ideas, design guidance and practical and legal tips for improving jury visuals. The book is for the working courtroom attorney. Covering the how's and the whys of effective courtroom graphics, this guide shows the practicalities of what jurors need to see as well as the design principles that keep that visual message impactful, persuasive and memorable.
