Trial Graphics

With an appreciation of the benefits of a visual learning model, our focus is to help our clients identify the key case concepts jurors need to learn and then develop trial graphics that educate and persuade them from opening statement, through witness testimony and closing argument. Like our Jury Consulting practice, we stress the importance of ensuring that any demonstrative we are creating meets an objective that has been carefully thought out beforehand. Although we pride ourselves on our creativity, we shun “bells and whistles” – creativity is best expressed with simple, clear ways of visually conveying complex issues or arguments. By integrating jury research and persuasive graphics under one roof, our clients can be assured that they are armed with a trial strategy that has not only been rigorously tested and refined, but is also complemented by persuasive visuals to clarify necessary issues and advance key arguments.

In developing trial graphics, Empirical Creative adheres to four core principles:

Education before argument.
Graphics should complement the message, not replace it.
Graphics technology should be used with purpose.
Visually, less is more.

“When it comes to working with trial consultants on the complex matters I litigate, I need to feel confident that the consulting firm I choose will do what it takes to truly understand my case’s core issues and facts. The folks at Empirical Creative have proven to me that they will do the hard work necessary to come in prepared and ready. Their strategic thinking is top-notch, and they have a knack for drilling down to the heart of the matters when it comes to trial strategy and graphics development. They are 100% committed to winning, and make me feel that my case is the most important matter on their minds. The fact that they are also a down to earth group of people is a big plus.”
