Seeing is Believing: Winning with Effective Demonstrative Evidence and Aids

Using specific cases as examples, Mark McGrory and Chuck Fox of Demonstratives, Inc. (DI), provide a graphically rich presentation on how 3D animations and 2D graphics have been used effectively both in litigation and as a catalyst for settlement. DI provides a number of CLE presentations in diverse subject areas:

Mr. McGrory provides an attorney’s perspective on how graphics can be an important part of the record. He discusses admissibility issues for demonstratives exhibits as well as the difference between demonstrative evidence and demonstrative aids. Mr. McGrory also discusses the federal rules relating to the use of demonstratives. In addition, he offers some key considerations for their use.

Dr. Fox provides a scientist’s perspective on how expert-level graphics and animations created specifically for litigation purposes have positively affected many significant cases. Using animation examples from specific case studies, Dr. Fox illuminates the ways high-quality demonstratives solve common communication dilemmas regarding presentation of complex and/or theoretical information.

Demonstratives, Inc. has created animations for intellectual property, construction, environmental, product liability and personal injury cases with a number of clients in the aviation, automotive, medical device, and other industries. DI’s case study based approach draws upon experience in over 1500 cases and provides best practices for how to use animations and graphics as tools to help effectively to resolve disputes.

The presentation is one hour in length.
