What’s the Best Presentation Software for Presenting Documents at Trial? - Litigation Insights

Presenting Documents: PowerPoint vs. Trial Presentation Software
Because there are a number of quality presentation software tools, we get asked a lot about which one works best for different scenarios. When it comes to presenting documents, your software choice is largely going to be between a general presentation software like PowerPoint, and a more specialized trial software like Trial Director.
Despite their respective pros and cons, each type of program is perfectly capable of presenting documents effectively. But to get the best results, we’d actually recommend having both in your tool box for any given trial. This is because PowerPoint’s step-by-step format and expanded customization options tend to be ideal for linear, planned-out storytelling – like your opening, closing, and direct testimony. Meanwhile, we find that Trial Director’s ability to instantly search for and pull from a huge database of exhibits is perfect for reacting quickly to catch an opponent during cross or rebuttal.
