Evidence Issues: Voluminous Evidence in Complex Cases and Use of Technology

May 11, 2023

Webinar Series
1:00 pm – 4:00 pm ET
90 minute presentation with 30 minute break followed by 60 minute presentation  

This webinar is one of NDAA’s 2023 Series of Evidence Trainings!  

With the advent of defendant’s use of technology in the commission of crimes as well as the increased use by the defense of expert witnesses to corroborate untenable mitigation strategies, your cases are becoming more complex and your evidence more voluminous.

How do you manage cases with overwhelming amounts of evidence: charts, expert studies, audio and video evidence, photographs, publications, test results, reports, and sometimes multiple crime scenes and multiple crimes?

Join NDAA faculty members as they discuss the types of voluminous yet critically important evidence most needing organization to enhance the jurors’ understanding, comprehension, and retention of the evidence.  You will learn foundational requirements for diverse types of evidence; how to anticipate defense objections to evidence; voluminous evidence presentation tips in a viewer-friendly style; the use of pre-trial motions in the context of voluminous and summary evidence; and recent attacks to admissibility of this evidence and strategies to avoid or overcome these challenges. The presenters will demonstrate low tech exhibits and courtroom technology methods (PowerPoint® presentations and other Trial Presentation software) for  evidence and witness testimony organization to yield a streamlined and persuasive case presentation that will hold your jury’s attention over the long course of a trial and make you a more persuasive and effective advocate.

There will be two presentations with a  30-minute lunch/snack break built into this training!
