Below you'll find one of the three articles from today's edition:

Stay One Step Ahead of Judges and Juries
By Dennis Kennedy

The television generation long ago took its place among jurors and judges, and now the online generation is doing the same. As a result, lawyers have gradually moved from flipcharts, foam board illustrations, and videotapes to the digital medium. Many lawyers take their first digital step with PowerPoint, but soon graduate to a dedicated trial presentation program like TrialDirector to better tell their clients' stories to judges and jurors and gain a competitive advantage over opposing counsel.

inData Corp. has released TrialDirector 5.1, an update to its award-winning trial presentation software. Version 5, of course, shook up the industry last year and racked up record sales thanks to its redesigned interface and other major changes. TrialDirector 5.1 builds on that success with a number of useful enhancements as well as a hot a new feature that has already attracted a lot of attention.

The biggest news is Presentation Preview, which enables you to preview your materials — exhibits, annotations, and other treatments — before you show them live to your audience. You can quickly and easily see how materials will display, and correct and improve them before showing them. inData describes it as like a batter taking a practice swing before stepping up to the plate.

TrialDirector 5.1 builds on its predecessor's ability to issue-code transcripts with your case issues and other designations. In the new version, you can also use the Designation Clip tool to automatically create video clips from any of your transcript issue codes. This means you can pull up clips on the fly faster than ever.

Improved compatibility is another highlight of TrialDirector 5.1. First and foremost, TrialDirector 5.1 offers full compatibility with the Windows Vista operating system. Version 5.1 also integrates with CT Summation and other third party applications, giving you the ability to choose virtually any litigation tool rather then be pigeonholed.

TrialDirector 5.1 also features performance enhancements. For example, it can transfer and load documents much faster. You can now quickly send documents or pages to workbooks with a right-click of a mouse. Existing users will also like the ability to edit information directly from the Case Explorer tree using a grid-like view while still working in the case tree structure.

TrialDirector 5.1 is a free upgrade for current licensees of TrialDirector 5 who have a current maintenance contract. Pricing starts at $595 plus maintenance with volume discounts available. Finally, you'll never again miss an update because the new version will notify whenever an update becomes available. Learn more about TrialDirector 5.1.
