Some
of the most compelling segments of a trial are the opening and closing
statements. Although Opening and
Closing Statements are not considered evidence in a trial, the use of
Demonstrative Aids during this phase of the trial can be critical.
JDL’s
specialty in the area of pre-trial research has educated its trial consultants
on the importance of Demonstrative Aids and the appropriate use of Demonstrative
Aids. Our research studies are
proof that Demonstrative Aids should be used during Opening and Closing
Statements, and should be considered during the direct and cross examination of
witnesses.
Jurors
come in all shapes and all sizes. They
demonstrate how this country truly is a “melting pot.”
We cannot underestimate a juror’s ability to comprehend key information
in a trial, nor can we overestimate their ability to comprehend key information.
The
use of Demonstrative Aids should always be an integral part of trial
preparation, and JDL is only a telephone call away!
