1. Is there a technology tool that can be used to help the jury, judge, mediator, or client better understand the key facts, themes, theories, and strategies that have been identified in our cases?
2. Am I getting “out tech-ed” by my opponent?
3. Given that most people are visual learners, can I do a better job with multi-media, and graphic summaries to give my client, the jury, judge or other decision makers a clear road map to give them the information and guidance they need to make a decision?
To promote positive answers to the questions above, each year in the last weekend in April, the FDCC Evolve Committee hosts on Fed Tech U,atechnologyworkshopforlawyers. TheFDCCEvolveCommittee presented FedTech U on April 28-30, 2023 in historic Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
