How Integrated Case Design and Presentation Can Benefit Your Case |
|
The day of the general town counsel is waning. As technology advances, and
attorneys reach further in an effort to seek specialized co-counsel and
expert testimony, increased scrutiny is placed upon case presentation in
both the war-room and the courtroom. In the past, case presentation
was valued primarily for legal content; but, today, judges, juries and other case
participants look for presentations which are appealing on numerous levels -
inclusive of content, visual design and presentation structure.

As a collection of documentation intended for a specific audience, a case meets all the criteria of published, traditional print media. It requires organization, edited content, logical content navigation, visual appeal, and bound form and/or electronic presentation. When properly addressed, each of these elements combine to create an authoritative proposal. Before I launched attorney services as an AIMS-related endeavor, I interviewed judges at the county, district and federal levels and asked them to reveal and discuss their greatest dissatisfaction in reviewing briefs and courtroom presentations. Their responses led me to include the types of services I offer. Their greatest
complaint was the habitual failure of attorneys to present information in a
consistently concise format with professionally represented exhibits. This
industry truth leads to frustrated judges who must, at worst, grapple with
fundamental understanding, and, at best, endure the distraction of vague
information - not because a case is too complex, but because
counsel fails to adequately consider case design and
prepare a quality presentation. |

Not looking for an overly dramatized presentation, these judges demonstrated deep appreciation for the intrinsic value of a case which is well-designed, well-written, and effectively communicated. As every attorney knows, integral to any case are its foundational legal principals: the facts, the law, the precedent, the argument. These principals give a case its forward momentum. A case, properly designed and presented, can not only sustain momentum, but can increase it - delivering the powerful, persuasive punch attorneys seek in positive resolution. Whether in a courtroom for a judge or jury; for the opponent while working toward settlement; for an uncertain client reviewing case status; for co-counsel; for expert witnesses; mediators or arbitrators; even lead counsel themselves - all parties can benefit from clear communication of case content. |

A selection of jurors often represents a spectrum of diverse interests, abilities and educational backgrounds. This disparate audience, thrust together to form a consensus from competing opinion, can benefit form materials most capable of communicating a core message across a chasm of personality traits, perceptual conditioning and comprehension tendencies. Publishing a document, such as a brief, or an oral argument is complex and more akin to crafting a non-fiction account than simply outlining facts. As you know, facts must be illuminated. You must lead your audience to the point, while framing it within a broader context and striving to eliminate doubt. You've heard the old real-estate adage: Location, location, location. In a legal presentation, it's: Context, context, context. Once your brief is completed, and you've determined the content of your argument, AIMS can consult with you, editing your delivery for economy, consistency, clarity and force. Finally AIMS will frame all components within a concise and digestible format for the benefit of your audience, the toughest audience - an impartial, yet impressionable, judge or jury. Don't rely on shuffled notes,
random files and insufficiently refined oratory. Speak to your audience,
don't just talk at them. Benefit from a powerful, persuasive writing style.
A properly
designed and presented case amounts to stronger, faster dialog; context-processed
exhibits; and, more easily assimilated content, which equates to time saved, money saved
and image enhancement for the attorney who implements it. |

Criminal cases, as well as other large, complex cases can benefit greatly from integrated case publishing; but, smaller real-property disputes, toxic tort cases, personal injury cases, copyright, patent, and commercial transaction cases are among those which can also benefit. Utilizing industry applications, AIMS works closely with you, in a contract paralegal capacity, while maintaining flexibility and the highest degree of confidentiality and professional standards to design your case presentation and help you achieve an optimal degree of professionalism among your peers and associates, for the benefit of your clients, and before a judge and jury.

Integrated
Case Design and Presentation
Neither editing nor exhibit preparation services are requisite to
participate in inclusive Integrated Design and Presentation. I can work with existing materials
to design an integrated presentation: However, for more harmonious results, I prefer to
create and thereby more effectively coordinate design elements from the
beginning of case development.
