Although pop culture cases that capture the nation’s attention are hardly typical of trials today, many viewers believe they are and they tend to set unrealistic expectations for those who may be called for jury duty or to serve on a jury. They may expect more experts, more drama, and more interest than the reality at most trials. This underscores the need for clear...&lt;br/&gt;

We at A2L Consulting have just published a new, completely free, e-book that anyone who’s interested in trials and litigation should have. No more comprehensive volume on litigation graphics exists, at any price.

I frequently help lawyers craft presentations – whether it’s the opening statement of a litigator, a pitch presentation for a law firm, or a seminar presentation for a corporate lawyer. And I too am often called upon to speak at events or even off the cuff to a group.

After a good bit of trial and error, I have found two nearly foolproof ways of...&lt;br/&gt;

While you know your expert is tops in their field, a jury only sees them briefly, when your expert witness may come across “witless.”&amp;nbsp; Avoid pitfalls so your witness truly comes across as an expert witness. &amp;nbsp;

Why do deer freeze in the headlights? Because they are built to see in low light at dawn and dusk, not bright lights. What are your expert’s blind...&lt;br/&gt;

Some companies have justifiably built a reputation for extraordinary customer service. Ritz-Carlton is one of them, but not everyone has had the opportunity to test that reputation in real life. As it happens, I recently put Ritz-Carlton to the test while I stayed at the Ritz-Carlton in Maui, Hawaii. It’s a lovely place, and my wife and I chose the Club...&lt;br/&gt;

In patent law, usually the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (affectionately called the Federal Circuit or just Fed.

Have you ever helped a witness get up to speed, or interviewed a witness who seemed all put together, only to see him or her take the stand and unravel? For example, had Mark Fuhrman been able to appropriately acknowledge his regrettable actions of the past in the O.J. Simpson criminal trial, how many days of courtroom drama would we have been spared?

Trial lawyers need to be aware of any viable source of information about law and about trial practice and exhibits. There’s no end to the resources available to trial lawyers and trial consultants on the Web these days. One of the great features of social media is that it is, by and large, free. With this in mind, let's take a look at YouTube, which...&lt;br/&gt;

As the jury pool progressively ages and more and more jurors hail from the Facebook generation, it has become utterly crucial for litigators to consider social media in the processes of jury selection, jury consulting and persuasion. The statistics of Facebook’s prevalence alone are astonishing.

For someone who is on trial, there is often no substitute for a jury of one’s peers in rendering a fair verdict. For a company such as A2L Consulting, which works with the top litigators in the nation every day and provides trial consulting services, there is no substitute for the judgment of the people we work with on a regular basis.

Some online estimates say that about 30 million PowerPoint presentations are given every day. That number seems more than a bit high, and it’s hard to find a credible source for it. But let’s say it’s off by a factor of 80 percent, so that just one-fifth of that many presentations are given each day. Still, that would be 6 million...&lt;br/&gt;

Anxiety does strange things to people, especially when they are working together in teams. When they become anxious, a rare few people become more focused and Zen-like. For most people and teams, however high anxiety causes one (or more) of five predictable dysfunctional behaviors to be&amp;nbsp;manifested, of course subconsciously. The anxious person is...&lt;br/&gt;

The most important duty of every trial lawyer, in every type of trial, is to convince a jury or judge on an emotional level. Appellate cases can and should be decided on the basis of an intellectual consideration of the law, but a wealth of psychological studies and generations of trial practice make it clear that the only way to win at trial is to...&lt;br/&gt;

The power of storytelling has been recognized for millennia.&amp;nbsp;From Aesop to Hans Christian Andersen to Steven Spielberg, great storytellers are celebrated by our society, almost as much as the people that they glorify in their tales. We tell our kids stories, businesses are encouraged to share stories to build culture, and we all admire that...&lt;br/&gt;

A high percentage of the work that we do at A2L Consulting is on cases with billions at stake. Over the last 18 years, we've seen trial teams prepare well and we've seen trial teams caught underprepared, often because they believed that settlement was imminent and that there was little or no need for trial preparation.
