Summary
When a corporation’s defense team faces a jury, the goal: a verdict that saves their client money. When a defense team represents someone they believe is wrongfully imprisoned, the goal: a verdict that restores their client’s life. The presentation strategies deployed by both teams are the same. The main component strategies are legal, verbal and visual, and the team consists of trial lawyers, jury consultants and specialized graphic designers. We review case examples that demonstrate a visual strategy at work, also the underpinnings of that strategy: a set of principles from literature and experience that tend to produce positive results.
