Over the course of 30 years of practicing law as a plaintiff’s lawyer, mentoring other lawyers, and teaching lawyers, I have witnessed some common threads in what wins cases. Too often, lawyers find it difficult to slow down, truly understand the case, and how to develop the most effective strategies for winning the case. There was a period in my career early on, where that was true for me. Through years of working as a trial lawyer, reading books, attending programs, and learning from the best and the brightest, I have crafted an approach to assist lawyers in building winning case-specific strategies.
At CaseVision™ we work with individual lawyers, on particular cases, to help them from the beginning of the case through trial. We do this by working to discover:
- the true story of the case
- the key witnesses and their roles in the story of the case
- the key evidence that moves the story forward
- the danger points in the case
- the visuals that assist the lawyer in teaching the case
- and visuals that assist the jurors in learning the case.
How much time do you spend developing a strategy for your case? When do you do it?
Developing a case strategy does not simply come from reading documents and preparing briefs. It does not develop concurrently as you perform the legal work to push the case forward. Case strategy first should be developed at the outset of the case so that it will inform your discovery plan and your trial preparation. Things, of course, will change over the life of the case, and so the strategy is a living process that continues to evolve.
CaseVision™ Helps you Build a Case Strategy
Taking the time to develop a strategy will save you from wasting time and energy. From the very start, or as early as possible, the case strategy that you develop will provide you with a powerful roadmap to guide you through the life of the case.
CaseVision™ Helps you Implement a Case Strategy
We take case workup to the next level by not only helping you build your case strategy, but by helping you to implement it.
CaseVision™ Works with you to Develop the Visual Strategy of Your Case
Research shows that people remember only 10% of they hear, 20% of what they read, and 80% of what they see. So, your case needs a visual strategy.
We work with you to develop the visual strategy–the tools that the jurors will need to understand the case in the way you want them to understand it.
