<\/a><\/div>\n

Our world has become a
\n\u2018world-in-pictures\u2019 with virtually everything translated into a visual format,
\nor at the very least, accompanied by an icon or picture of some related sort.
\nGiven this reality, litigators have been encouraged to create visuals and graphics
\nto support the presentation of their case, to the maximum allowed by the Court.<\/span><\/p>\n

All this is well and good, and
\nindeed, has been proven effective in case after case. However, which visuals,
\nand how they are designed to be most persuasive, can be elusive.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lawyers are often tempted to
\nload up visuals with as much information as possible, understanding that the
\nvisual is more compelling than the spoken word. In theory, this is accurate.
\nHowever, you and your witnesses still need to be heard as well as visually
\nrepresented. Too much information on any given graphic can lead to \u201cinattentional
\ndeafness<\/a>.\u201d Simply stated, the more complicated and comprehensive the visual
\nmaterial, the less subjects were able to respond to what they heard.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is true for jurors as well.
\nOver-complicate your visuals, and jurors will not be able to absorb what you\u2019re
\nsaying. If your case is such that you must present an information-loaded
\nvisual, be that in still or video form, be quiet while that information is
\nimparted visually, at least for a few moments, and then speak, preferably with
\nthe information-loaded visual out of view.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
