Webinar approx. 90 min. (1 Hr. CLE)
In today’s modern courtroom, the use of technology as part of a trial presentation is essential. It is important for attorneys to understand the high tech tools available to them, and Microsoft Office 2007‘s PowerPoint is one of the most useful tools available-
if it is used correctly!
This lecture will teach how to get the most out of PowerPoint by showing how it can be used to organize a case visually, “zoom” in on important elements in a document or image using cropping and animation, underlining, highlighting, animated timelines and more. You
will also learn about and discuss strategies on what specific animations, colors and techniques work best in litigation scenarios. You are urged to bring along your laptops so you can follow along with some of the techniques and skills shown during the session!*
*(Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 required)
*(Suggested: Powerpoint 2003 users attend the Upgrading to Vista & Office 2007 Suite class and the
beginning Powerpoint 2003 class for novice Powerpoint users)
