our technicians will work in the war room with little sleep to match
the effort of the trial team and ensure a perfect display of evidence.
Why Create a Trial
Presentation?
The main reason for using exhibits and visual evidence
at trial is to present information in such a way that is becomes more
comprehensible to a judge or jury.
Psychologists who have studied the way people communicate and learn
have discovered that approximately 2/3 of the population (2/3 of any
jury pool and judges) are "visual learners." That is, people
tend to process new information that is presented to them in a visual
format much more effectively than when the same information is presented
to them verbally.
Psychologists have also determined that 2/3 of all lawyers are auditory
or hearing people. That is, they tend to process information more effectively
by hearing information. Furthermore, studies have also shown that people
tend to communicate information, or "teach", in the same way
that they prefer to learn. Therefore, most lawyers, as auditory learners,
prefer to communicate information, or teach, by speaking rather than
by showing.
In the typical courtroom scenario, what one finds is a jury, comprised
mostly of visual learners, who are waiting to be shown
the information, and lawyers, who are auditory learners and teachers,
attempting to communicate the information by verbally explaining it.
This common situation invariably creates a significant gap in communication
between the lawyer and the judge and jury. The impact of this gap upon
the success of a case cannot be overstated because if a judge or jury
cannot visualize your argument, they typically will not understand it.
Animators, by designing persuasive and creative courtroom evidence,
helps to bridge the gap between the verbal communicator and the visual
learner.
