I’m Amy Hall, visual trial strategist

I've created these CLE courses as a systematic, practical way to immediately improve outcomes for your clients.


What is visual trial strategy?


Trials are decided by juries. If a case were only about law, logic, and fact, we'd be able to feed the elements into a computer and have the answer pop out. But we know that's now how it works.

Visual trial strategy is a comprehensive approach to litigation that synthesizes case development with communications:

  • zero in on what your case is really about
  • focus only on the parts of your case that truly matter
  • distill and simplify your case
  • present your case to the jury in a way they can understand, learn, remember, and care about

Visual strategy for litigation is far more than just boards or slides, and you don't need to know about graphics or graphic design to put these concepts to work on your cases.

Visual trial strategy is a tried-and-true approach proven through the results of hundreds of cases. Visual trial strategy gives trial lawyers an edge.
