Mock trials can be incredibly useful for lawyers and litigators who want to get a better understanding of how their case might play out in court. However, without proper preparation, a mock trial can be a waste of time and resources. That's where jury consultants come in. These professionals can help you prepare for a mock trial by providing valuable insights and feedback. Here are nine tips for a successful mock trial with the help of jury consultants.

I frequently help lawyers craft presentations – whether it’s the opening statement of a litigator, a pitch presentation for a law firm, or a seminar presentation for a corporate lawyer. And I too am often called upon to speak at events or even off the cuff to a group. After a good bit of trial and error, I have found two nearly foolproof ways of organizing any of these talks that I use almost invariably, whatever the context may be. The great thing about these models is that you can use them in an off-the-cuff speech just as well as you can in a highly scripted presentation. Whether it's the courtroom or your kid's school, these models work wonders. You will come off as inspiring, not just informative. You will appear confident. You will also be seen as following modern presentation styles – the spoken equivalent of using an electronic presentation versus using transparent overhead slides.

by Ken Lopez Founder/CEO A2L Consulting Some companies have justifiably built a reputation for extraordinary customer service. Ritz-Carlton is one of them, but not everyone has had the opportunity to test that reputation in real life. As it happens, I recently put Ritz-Carlton to the test while I stayed at the Ritz-Carlton in Maui, Hawaii. It’s a lovely place, and my wife and I chose the Club Level for our stay. But as can happen even at a Ritz-Carlton, some things went wrong. Actually, a lot of things went wrong. The club level was unexpectedly bought out by an unnamed VIP, and when my wife and I checked in for what was supposed to be our first real vacation without our triplets since our honeymoon in 2006, the front desk staff let us know that we would not be receiving the five meals per day and adult beverages associated with a Ritz-Carlton club level stay.

by Ken Lopez Founder & CEO A2L Consulting Trial lawyers need to be aware of any viable source of information about law and about trial practice and exhibits. There’s no end to the resources available to trial lawyers and trial consultants on the Web these days. One of the great features of social media is that it is, by and large, free. With this in mind, let's take a look at YouTube, which is a very helpful social network with pages, channels, and subscribers. It has a great many free resources that can help trial lawyers advise their clients on an interesting topic – how social media can and does interact with the law.

Some online estimates say that about 30 million PowerPoint presentations are given every day. That number seems more than a bit high, and it’s hard to find a credible source for it. But let’s say it’s off by a factor of 80 percent, so that just one-fifth of that many presentations are given each day. Still, that would be 6 million PowerPoints.
