Using PowerPoint to Maximize the Jury's Retention and Understanding of Your Presentation
As you well know, PowerPoint has become widely used and accepted in trial courts around the State. PowerPoint is designed to be learned in as little as 15 minutes, but once those 15 minutes are over, most users know only enough to be boring at best and dangerous at worst. Most attorneys with a limited knowledge of PowerPoint's shortcomings spend valuable time creating presentations that miss the mark and fail to achieve the desired delivery and goal. This session will teach you what you can do with PowerPoint, what you should do with PowerPoint, and what you should NEVER do with PowerPoint by tapping into its tricks and advantages and avoiding the pitfalls. This is a most interesting and informative program for attorneys at all levels of experience.
Successfully Integrating Trial Presentation Software into Your Court Room Practice
This presentation teach you how Sanction-Trial Presentation Software allows you to load all your documents - all police reports, medical records, photographs, exhibits, transcripts, videotaped statements, power point presentations, etc. into one program. You will learn how to synchronize written transcripts to videotaped interviews so they can be read, while simultaneously watching and hearing the interviews, for impeachment purposes. You can instantly pull up clips of portions of videotaped interviews, certain paragraphs in an exhibit, power point slides, photos, and medical records, and to magnify and highlight any document during testimony. You will learn how to use this technology to inform and persuade juries, and also the evidentiary and ethical limits of the use of this technology.
