Description

The days of marking paper exhibits, giving them to the clerk, then asking for the exhibits back during trial are over. Modern jurors are used to technology, and are impatient when a trial moves along slowly because of a lack of preparation or experience on the part of the lawyers. Judges are acutely aware of how frustrated jurors get when the lawyers never seem to get to the point. 

Join Don Stevens for a fast-paced 90-minute presentation on how to up your game by early preparation and having a strong grip on the applicable rules for displaying and using digital evidence to make your point and to persuade the jury by getting them to see the “beating, pulsing heart” of your story. You will learn what rules of evidence cover digital presentations of any type, how digital evidence can be effectively displayed to the jury during trial, and how to handle objections from your opponent who didn’t get the memo and had the paralegal do the PowerPoint. Be there. Dare ya!

"Content did not match title. I was expecting more tech"
