High-Stakes Litigation

The earlier we receive these materials, the more thoroughly we can prepare your case
for presentation. Your LitOptix trial technician will provide a secure method for
transferring these documents and will confirm receipt. All materials are handled with strict confidentiality and in compliance with HIPAA standards when applicable.

LitOptix stays current with the latest developments in evidence rules, including therecently adopted Federal Rule of Evidence 107 governing illustrative aids. We work closely with your legal team to ensure all visual presentations comply with applicable evidentiary standards.

Demonstrative Evidence vs. Illustrative

Aids We understand the critical distinction
between demonstrative evidence (substantive evidence offered to prove disputed facts) and illustrative aids (presentations that help the trier of fact understand evidence or argument without themselves constituting evidence). This distinction affects how materials can be used during trial and whether they may go to the jury during deliberations.

Compliance with FRE 107 

For illustrative aids, we ensure compliance with the Rule 107 balancing test, which permits their use when their utility in assisting comprehension is not substantially outweighed by dangers of unfair prejudice, confusion, misleading the jury, undue delay, or wasting time.

Documentation for the Record

We work with your team to ensure proper entry of illustrative aids into the record when practicable, as required under FRE 107(c), while helping prepare appropriate jury instructions regarding their limited purpose.

Summaries of Voluminous Materials

When handling summaries of voluminous evidence under Rule 1006, we ensure they accurately represent the underlying materials and meet all technical requirements for admission. Our expertise in these nuanced areas of evidence presentation helps ensure your visual aids are not only effective but also compliant with current evidentiary standards.

needs:

Interactive Chronologies
