Every trial attorney, whether for the plaintiff or defense, is faced with the task of persuading the jury to interpret evidence that will either acquit or convict the accused. In order to do this, attorneys must hold the jurors- attention, present the evidence in an understandable manner and make the juror see their side of the story. Demonstrative evidence is often used to accomplish these tasks. But what should the demonstrative evidence include? If it is too technical, there-s a chance the jury will not understand it. If it doesn-t include the right information, there-s a change the jury will forget it.

Demonstrative Evidence for Complex Litigation: A Practical Guide is a helpful resource that will provide you with quick, easy to understand tips on how to use demonstrative evidence and what should be included in your presentation. This is a great guide for the new trial attorney or anyone who wants to sharpen their skills.
