One huge hurdle that litigators encounter during trials is not
only meeting their burden of proof to prevail, but also keeping the jury
engaged. A jury trial, especially in
more serious or complex matters is not the three minute clip that you see on
television or in the movies. Trials can be long, often
extending over months, depending on the matter
at hand. Throughout that time, we have a
jury box of humans who are taking in all of this information and then tasked
with deliberating to render a verdict. I
specifically point to the jurors as humans, because as humans we have shifting attention
spans. This is why it is extremely
important to put on compelling and engaging presentations to the jury. In the criminal context, it can be very
powerful to display demonstrative evidence in a memorable manner.
