It’s worth understanding when and why these tools can make a real difference, so should I use legal graphics in my case? We are going to give you some points to consider.
When to Use Legal Graphics?
When your case involves complicated data or timelines. If your argument depends on explaining a sequence of events, a timeline or chart could turn confusion into clarity.
When the facts are technical or scientific. In medical malpractice or environmental disputes, visuals help break down scenes and events.
When the opposing side is using visuals. Sometimes, you need to level the playing to avoid being overshadowed.
But What If You’re Not Sure?
If you are unsure about using animation in a court case, the key is to ensure it is treated as demonstrative evidence, not substantive evidence, and that it is fair, accurate, and not unfairly prejudicial. Animations are generally admissible in court to help judges and juries visualize complex information and expert testimony.
