by David H. Schwartz Managing Director, Scientific Support to Counsel, Innovative Science Solutions The key to any toxic tort case involving complex scientific concepts is retaining the right experts. However, as any experienced litigator well knows, finding the right expert is not a simple or straightforward matter. Although getting the right lead on a specific individual can be challenging, half the battle is often identifying the right type of expert for your case.

by Ryan H. Flax (Former) Managing Director, Litigation Consulting A2L Consulting It has just been reported that prosecution counsel in the criminal trial against George Zimmerman is objecting to the defense’s use of a computer animation depicting the scene of the fatal confrontation between Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin.

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 Ryan H. Flax, Esq. (Former) Managing Director, Litigation Consulting A2L Consulting As a litigation consultant, one of my primary responsibilities is to help litigation teams develop and effectively use demonstrative evidence to support their trial presentation. The primary means of doing this is to create litigation graphics, which are most commonly used as PowerPoint slides that accompany oral argument and witness testimony.
