Next Level Lawyering – Visual Storytelling with Ed Sledge

The best trial lawyers never stop refining their craft. In the Next Level Lawyering, IADC Speaks Hosts Bob Christie (Baker Sterchi Cowden & Rice LLC) and Emma Ross (Goldman Ismail Tomaselli Brennan & Baum LLP) sit down with accomplished trial lawyers to examine the decisions, techniques, and habits that shape an effective trial presentation. Each concise episode focuses on one essential stage of trial and offers practical ideas that lawyers across practice areas can use the next time they prepare a case for a judge or jury.   In this episode, Bob and Emma speak with nationally renowned trial lawyer and former IADC Trial Academy director Ed Sledge (Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP) about visual storytelling. Ed explains how he incorporates visual information into trial strategy, when that process should begin, and how an initial concept becomes a polished, trial-ready presentation. The conversation also explores how lawyers can interact effectively with visuals in the courtroom—and how emerging technology is changing the way those visuals are developed.
