This CLE course will provide trial counsel with strategies for effectively using technology in the courtroom. The panel will discuss how to create digital presentations that will capture and hold a jury’s attention, integrate technology into examinations and arguments, and leverage data from wearable devices, Google Maps and Street View, and other cutting edge technology.
Trial attorneys have a short time to capture a modern jury’s attention. Jurors of all ages are proficient in using apps and social media. Trial technology can help litigators engage jurors by presenting unfamiliar information in a familiar format.
A carefully constructed multimedia presentation can help jurors understand complex financial, scientific or technical data. A high-impact digital presentation can win sympathy for an injured medical malpractice plaintiff, while wearable trackers can undermine a personal injury plaintiff’s disability claim. Google Street View can show the condition of the property in a premises liability case or the obstructions and surroundings at an accident site.
Technology should be an essential component of a litigator’s courtroom strategy. To most effectively use technology at trial, counsel should incorporate a variety of formats throughout a case—audio, video, slides, 3D animation—to connect with different jurors who retain information differently.
