The link is no good. I'm in the same position, i.e., seeing the necessity
for using PP at trial but not seeing much effective use of it and seeing
little training. I've taken a 2-morning course and starting next week I'll
be taking a 2-evening course none of which is about trial presentations per
se. You've got to be able to give some kind of PP presentation before giving
a PP presentation at trial. This would be a good topic for MicroSoft to put
into an on-line training at least to show the major types of use of PP at
trial.

Hi Robert,

one of the most well-known examples is Cliff Atkinson's support for the
presentation in the Vioxx trial. Find more information here:
http://www.beyondbullets.com/2005/07/beyond_bullet_p.html

The main point is not the technique how to create a PowerPoint presentation,
the main point is how to convince judge and jury. And to learn how to make
successful presentations that move the viewers, I would recommend three
books:

- Cliff Atkinson: Beyond Bullet Points, http://www.beyondbulletpoints.com/
- Nancy Duarte: slide:ology, http://blog.duarte.com/book/
- Garr Reynolds: Presentation Zen, http://www.presentationzen.com/

Best regards,
Ute
 
Another possibility, Robert, is to fill this perceived gap/nitch with a book
of your own. Do the research to find out what is effective, efficient, and
persuasive. Try it out in your own practice. Then write a book about it.

Microsoft just builds the tool, users use that tool to build their business.
