The Art of Storytelling: Back to Basics
Litigators often forget that cases are more than just impersonal stacks of paper and complicated facts. Great litigation is all about great storytelling. This one-day course reveals how to clarify your evidence, captivate attention, and convicnce your audience by discovering the storyeller within you.
Let others see your case the way you want them to see it. Whether you are a seasoned professional or just starting out, The Art of Storytelling will transform and revitalize how you approach all of your cases.
High-Impact Storytelling: Visual Technology
Building on the skills highlighted in The Art of Storytelling, this two-day workshop combines the power of a great story with complimentary visuals. You will also learn about the five ways to get your visuals shown in court. Day one focuses on preparing for Mediations while day two focuses on Arbitration and Trial techniques.
Historically, litigation is an oral form of communication, while most people remain better at visual learning. This discrepancy puts litigators at a communication disadvantage right from the start. High-Impact Storytelling works to shake off the traditional shackles of litigation and explores new ways of thinking about your case. You'll learn about pairing the best type of visuals with your story and how to focus those skills on your future cases.
Disorder in the Court: Controlling Your Case
This three-day course is not for the faint of heart. Here, you will refresh your storytelling and visual commnication skills before delving deep into the world of a true modern litigator. You will have the opportunity to work through a detailed and complicated mock-case study tailored specifically to civil or criminal litigators. With structured guidance you will design and create your own visuals to support your side of the case.
At the end of the course we discuss your designs, techniques, and strategies to hone your skills even further. We will then finally reveal WIN Interactive's approach to the same case after discussing your work. You will definitely leave this course armed to the teeth with litigation firepower.
Litigation Technology: Software and Equipment Basics
This half-day training offers simple software tips, like how to scan documents at optimum quality, as well as the difference between various types of computer files and programs. You'll also discover hardware basics like how to connect your laptop to a projector or seamlessly switch between multimedia devices used in court. It's never too late to get back in front of the technology curve.
The Law of Visual Evidence: Admissibility and Permissibilty
The legal system is sorely behind when it comes to decisions regulating technology in the courtroom. While it might appear that the law provides all of the information you need to use or defend against visual multimedia, the jarring truth is that it does not. More importantly, there are many issues still unaddressed and in debate that you need to know about before you walk in the courtroom.
Any attorney can do legal research, but only the experts in litigation visuals know what to look for and how it practically applies. Whether you currently use visuals for litigation or not, you must know the rules of admissibility and permissibility for this emerging and wildly evolving field.
This half-day training will cover a wide range of multimedia techniques used in court, as well as specific strategies for getting your visuals shown in court. Among the topics is the admissibility or permissibility of those techniques as well as how to defend against them when they are used against you.
Overcoming the Law on Television
With TV shows like CSI or Law and Order blaring in the face of the public, attorneys today face an unprecedented challenge. As attorneys, we know how mundane and uneventful many cases appear when tried in court. Jurors exposed to a fictional justice system, on the other hand, expect excitement from trials based on what they see on television. They often expect incontrovertible evidence, sweeping DNA analysis, and absolute truths when reality only offers them shades of gray.
This half-day course explores how to bridge the gap between the expectations of non-lawyers and the reality that trial lawyers face everyday. You will discover techniques to overcome the "CSI Effect" and other problems television shows create.
