Trial "Hot Seat"
Technician

The key to effectively communicating to a jury is a blend of today’s technological advancements in media with the personality and persuasiveness of a compelling lawyer. Add the hiring of a reliable trial presentation support service with a “hot seat” technician and you have a winning combination for a more successful trial outcome.

Reasons for Multi-Media Presentations

The way people effectively comprehend information has changed from 50 or even 20 years ago. We are a digital society. Information is being delivered to us faster and in more dynamic ways than ever before. Jurors in the courtroom are no different. Jurors are using their hyper-sensitive senses such as vision, hearing, touch, and even emotions to decipher the facts of a case. Just look at these scientific facts:

Vary Stimulation

The brain is most active when it is stimulated in different ways allowing for information to be comprehended more easily.

Written & Spoken

The brain for the vast majority of individuals is unable to comprehend written and spoken information at the same time.

Multi-Media Works

A study at the University of California – Santa Barbara showed that individuals comprehend information most effectively when shown a visual or video exhibit with narration from the attorney or expert.

Trial "Hot Seat" Technician Duties

From a cost perspective, most law firms cannot afford the costs associated with hiring an inhouse technological expert or be able to invest in the computer hardware needed to produce complex multi-media presentations. Additionally, the time associated with creating these complex trial presentations for an already extremely busy lawyer and/or paralegal is not possible.
