Lawyer Uses Mac to Explain His Trial Philosophy

I posted a few weeks ago about an attorney who uses his Mac to create online videos to attract clients.  After reading that post, one of my readers, noted Nashville trial lawyer Eddie Davidson, sent me a link to his website to show me how he used his Mac to create a video to help explain his trial philosophy, "Trial As Story."  What I found unique was how he was able to integrate actual courtroom video in with his Mac-generated video to communicate his message.  I urge you to take a few minutes to click HERE to view Eddie's video, which runs less than three minutes.

For the trial lawyers in this group, the point he makes cannot be overlooked. We are storytellers and as John DuFresne, a creative writing professor and literary novelist has pointed out, "The best story wins."

Because people learn differently teaching a jury involves using different techniques within the same trial. Computer presentations work well when they are seamless and not distracting (i.e. they work as soon as you turn them on). These presentations need to augment the story line and not take away from it.
