Is a Picture Really Worth a Thousand Words?

A Guest Post from Elizabeth Schell . . .

In this age of digital communication this often seems to be the case.  Research supports the contention that visual communication can be more powerful than verbal communication. This can also be true in the courtroom as the need for crystal clear communication of, sometimes, complex scenarios is an ingredient of many litigation situations.  Expert witness opinions can also be complex and may need to be reduced into a more understandable format for mediation or courtroom presentation.  The right (i.e. technically accurate) litigation graphics can be essential in explaining your argument or winning your case.

For instance, the graphic below presents the images concisely and accurately in easy to understand format.

You need the right person with the right experience and graphical capabilities to rigorously convert the most complex scenarios into visually appealing and understandable graphics, suitable for viewing in a conference room or courtroom.
