This trial consultantion could be focused on jury analysis, designing the technology layout for the courtroom, running the courtroom trial presentation hot seat, preparing the litigation graphics, designing the electronic brief, cutting depo clips, developing a litigation mind-map to organizae the trial presentation, teaching litigation counsel to present better or countless other forms of consulting related to trial.
