Trial presentation checklist

Present a winning argument at trial

Today’s judges, jurors, and arbitration panels expect clear, engaging visual presentations that bring evidence to life. The way you display your evidence can make or break your argument — no matter how thoroughly you’ve prepared your case.

Here are five reasons to use a structured trial presentation checklist:

1. You’ll choose the right technology before trial day, so you can pull up exhibits instantly and adapt to unexpected turns in testimony.
2. A strong visual strategy will help you show — not just tell — your story in a way that resonates with judges, jurors, and arbitrators.
3. You’ll have a clear plan for who manages the presentation, with communication signals and backup protocols ready to go.
4. You’ll make the most of deposition video, document callouts, timelines, and other high-impact visuals that static slides can’t match.
5. It’s your guide from courtroom setup through post-trial juror interviews — so nothing falls through the cracks when the stakes are highest.

This Nextpoint checklist covers every decision you need to make to deliver a compelling, professional presentation — from selecting your tools and scouting the venue to presenting with confidence and applying lessons to future matters. Download it today.
