Jurors expect information to be presented in a way that accommodates them. And with today’s jury groups being composed of more Generation X and Y-ers – two groups that thrive in an environment where news and information are presented in a fast-paced, brief manner – it is imperative that information in the courtroom follows suit, or it will be lost on the audience.
It is no surprise that people’s attention spans are growing shorter now that timely information is instantly accessible. Visuals including diagrams, charts, maps and drawings enable us to quickly digest information. The same applies to learning in the courtroom. Jurors must be able to retain and digest facts to make the best decision in a trial; therefore, visuals are necessary tools that are extremely helpful in educating a jury.
