Case Strategy and Key Issues
Organizes facts, legal issues, theories, disputed matters, potential outcomes, and strategic considerations
Trial Notebook Development
Organize the case. Put trial strategy to work.
A Working Trial System
Turn the case into a courtroom-ready working system.
A trial notebook connects strategy, evidence, witnesses, issues, and trial tools so critical information can be understood and used effectively in court.
Built Around the Case
Witnesses and Examinations
Connects each witness to relevant issues, anticipated testimony, examinations, exhibits, impeachment material, and evidentiary questions
Evidence and Exhibits
Creates a courtroom-ready system for locating, authenticating, offering, opposing, and using exhibits, demonstratives, and other evidence
Motions and Rulings
Connects motions and rulings to the evidence, witnesses, objections, and trial issues they affect
Trial Framework
Organizes materials for openings, examinations, arguments, instructions, proposed findings, verdict forms, orders, and other proceedings as appropriate
Practical Trial Tools
Develop timelines, checklists, issue summaries, exhibit and witness guides, reference materials, and other working tools
More Than Organization
Building the notebook evaluates the case from a trial perspective and can expose unanswered questions, evidentiary problems, preparation gaps, inconsistencies, and strategic issues while there is time to address them.
The result is more than a collection of materials. It is a working trial system that makes the case easier to prepare, understand, and present.
Designed for How You Work
The engaging attorney determines the scope, structure, format, and materials. We can develop selected sections, build the full notebook, or work collaboratively. The notebook may supplement an existing system or become the working trial structure.
The engagement may end with the notebook or continue into Targeted Trial Support or Lead Trial Counsel.
