In this hands-on, small group training, attorneys will master the art of using PowerPoint in trial with this hands-on full day program designed to make you a PowerPoint powerhouse. Learn how to create impactful PowerPoint presentations to enhance your opening and closing statements. This full-day session covers using PowerPoint to improve your storytelling, theme development, and techniques to maintain juror engagement. The class is taught by Jim Amberg, who has won many difficult trials using PowerPoint. Jim guarantees that this will change the way you conduct trials. 

It is expected that students will have a basic knowledge of how to use PowerPoint as this class is geared toward creation of dynamic PowerPoint trial presentations, not an intro into the basics of PowerPoint.

Limited to 10 attorneys. Minimum 6 required.
