Prerequisite: Evidence

Description

Technology has introduced rapid changes in the way evidence is presented at trial. It is now well recognized that jurors, as well as judges, retain and are persuaded more effectively by visual information, rather than the spoken word. This course will explore through lecture, demonstration, and discussion the accumulation, organization, and presentation of proof in the digital world. This will include an examination of evidentiary and procedural rules as they relate to visual advocacy, computer technology, and digital graphics. Students will also prepare and present visual evidence using the evidence camera and PowerPoint graphics in various trial segments (opening, closing, etc.) based upon case files created for teaching purposes by the National Institute of Trial Advocacy.
