According to Ron Kurzman, a Litigation Consultant and partner at Magna Legal Services, "An effective story cannot rely on words alone and in the same respect, a lawyer cannot always expect his argument to be fully understood by the intended audience by relying simply on his or her skills as an orator. The best method for imposing influence upon a judge or jury is by pairing the verbal with a well structured visual. As the famous writer Ivan Turgenev once wrote (in Fathers and Sons, 1862), 'A picture shows me at a glance what it takes dozens of pages of a book to expound'. By using a graphic summary of your individual case points, you can help clarify a detail that may be lost amongst the legal jargon and case information overload."

By employing a diverse team of experts with advanced degrees in graphic design, sociology, psychology and marketing, GraphicsForTrial.com can help attorneys develop the type of persuasive presentation todays digitally savvy population has come to expect in the courtroom. Utilizing the latest industry design tools and programs, as well as some proprietary technologies, GraphicsForTrial.com has developed six different types of graphics that are available for detailed customization.

• Document Call-Out: Used to set apart certain documents and emphasize their most relevant clauses/portions.
• Text Chart: Used to highlight key arguments, an enumeration of facts in your favor, or a snippet of pertinent testimony.
• Comparison Chart: Used to highlight similarities or differences in various pieces of text such as witness testimony, proposed claim constructions, public statements etc.
• Checklist Chart: Used to summarize your arguments, show standards of care were met or show burden of proof was not met, etc.
• Timeline: Used to explain how events unfolded and/or to show how these events relate to each other.
• Organizational Chart: Used to introduce the different people/parties involved in your matter and show their relationships to each other.

Most attorneys do not have the time to design and develop these type of courtroom graphics on their own. To hire consultants to do this job is not an efficient use of capital. GraphicsForTrial.com considered this when developing the product and were able to deliver an online resource that provides such a service while still allowing the user to control everything from the look and feel of the demonstrative to how the information is prepared and presented. The smallest attribute like the number of rows in a table or the type of emphasis used in a checklist is open to modification with one simple click.

GraphicsForTrial.com provides the edge legal professionals need by breaking down complex concepts that may otherwise be foreign to the layman (i.e., witness testimony, technical details, company structure, etc) so the strength of the argument is remembered long after the summation is delivered.
