Every Picture Tells a Story - Doesn’t It?

"The eyes are better witnesses than the ears." —Heraclitus, circa 500 BC

"Things seen are mightier than things heard." —Alfred, Lord Tennyson, 1864

Heraclitus and Tennyson "got it"—and, thank goodness, almost everyone involved in modern day litigation has "gotten it," too. It really wasn't all that long ago that many attorneys blanched at the idea of organizing their opening and closing arguments or key witness examinations around an integrated visual presentation.
