To be successful, trial lawyers must ensure that their cases are persuasive, interesting and easy to understand for judges, jurors and arbitrators. One way to contribute to that success is with a graphics strategy that presents the case in a clear and effective manner.
“Creating Winning Trial Strategies and Graphics, Second Edition”, a new release from the American Bar Association Tort Trial and Insurance Practice Section, goes step-by-step through the graphics process, providing information that lawyers can use to simplify their cases by filtering out what is distracting or unimportant.
The book clarifies and develops essential themes and other tools that jurors need so they can effectively evaluate, retain and understand complex issues–making it easier to convey information in an organized, clear and convincing manner. In addition, the guide is loaded with full-color illustrations to demonstrate the best way to utilize graphics.
“Creating Winning Trial Strategies and Graphics, Second Edition” is written by G. Christopher Ritter, chief of Visual Trial Strategy at The Focal Point LLC in Oakland, Calif. As a former faculty member at the University of California’s Hastings College of the Law, Ritter is a master at clarifying the complex and making esoteric themes understandable and compelling. His courtroom experience is also instrumental in developing strategically sound, clearly delineated and creatively convincing presentations.
