Situational "Hot Seat" Trial Tech Training
Situational awareness can facilitate a smoother, more seamless trial presentation experience that communicates the highest professional standards and helps you meet your case goals. This module gives would-be trial techs and law firm staff the training on real world situations that arise in the courtroom and how to solve them beforehand or in short measure.
Trial Presentation Software Training
Bring the strategic advantage of trial presentation software proficiency in-house. This module is for law firms (and new hot seaters) that want to go beyond the basic callout and annotation attributes so that you can really harness its capabilities. From creating clips to differentiating your case from opposing counsel, this series of lessons offers a deep understanding by using Tim’s experiences and unique stories to show how to employ some of the lesser known (but powerful) features.
PowerPoint® For Trial Attorneys
Powerful and practical PowerPoint® techniques that will revolutionize the way you use its capabilities in court and mediations. Learn how to utilize little known features, and a number of my own unique innovations, for better opening statements, witness examinations, closing arguments, mediations, and CLE presentations. I will also show you how to use the program as an alternative to trial presentation software applications. This module assumes some basic PowerPoint® knowledge. The one year
Convinse™ subscription allows you access your lesson materials, PowerPoint® templates, Convinse™ Elements, and lesson videos for future reference.
Create A Compelling Mediation Presentation
Most cases settle. The big question is: Did you leave too much money on the table? Mediations are often the best opportunities to communicate the strength and value of your case before trial. So, a compelling presentation can make the difference between meeting your settlement goals and having to try the case in court. This module will offer you proven techniques and tools that will not only help you to make your best case, but also project your preparedness and willingness to go to trial. I will discuss the benefits of storytelling, structure, color use, media options, strategy, tactics and more.
Create An Interactive Timeline in PowerPoint®
Every case has a relationship with time. That’s why a well-constructed timeline can be an invaluable tool for communicating important information at trial and in mediations. In this seminar, we will discuss practical use in legal settings, structure, color, themes, features, and common issues to preempt. Participants will learn how to create an interactive timeline in PowerPoint® with links to source materials that will help legitimize their case value. This workshop comes with lesson materials, and an annual subscription that includes Convinse™ Elements, PowerPoint® templates, plus videos of the seminar for future reference.
Audio-Visual Equipment Essentials
Have you ever wanted to go back in time just so you could reclaim the opportunity to join your high school AV Club? I didn’t think so. Still, a basic knowledge of audio-visual equipment is so important in today’s digital presentation world. This set of lessons go over the basics, from understanding the main features of a projector to being able to string together several splitters so that you can display your presentation on multiple monitors in the courtroom. I may not make you into a full-fledged pocket protector-wearing warrior; but you will be more comfortable using the hardware necessary to execute your digital presentation strategy before a judge, jury, or mediator.
The Courtroom Tech Walkthrough
A courtroom tech walkthrough is one of the most important aspects of a trial tech’s duties and responsibilities. In this module, I will go over the twenty-one points that every hot seater must know and check in order to help ensure a seamless trial presentation process, from opening statements to closing arguments. This set of lessons comes with my 21 Point Checklist PDF.
