Keep the case rolling and jurors will follow; Joseph D. Jamail

Article Abstract:

Joseph D. Jamail believes streamlining case presentation is the key to winning and that this strategy will hold jurors' attention. Jamail takes the important depositions himself in order to find out his case's strengths and weaknesses at an early stage. He will disclose weaknesses at the outset so the defense cannot win points in so doing. He avoids hyperbole in his opening statement, keeping it strictly factual so that the jury will not expect more than he delivers.

Demonstrative evidence can be most effective when it is kept simple; high-tech innovations aren't always the best

Article Abstract:

Trial attorneys make the best use of demonstrative evidence when that evidence helps them get their point across succinctly and simply. Studies have shown that jurors pay the most attention to visual evidence, and lawyers can take advantage of this fact by using such evidence to summarize each key issue. Demonstrative evidence can be particularly useful in medical malpractice cases in helping jurors to understand the complex issues involved.
