In the law office, there is often a need to communicate how procedures to office personnel. A checklist for filing documents with various courts can be shown graphically with large bold print. The output printed by a laser printer can then be three hole punched and placed in a notebook of standard office procedures. Similarly, file organization can be graphically displayed and placed in the standard office procedures notebook. Graphics programs are generously loaded with boxes, circles and arrows, all mixable with a variety of styles of text, allowing you to quickly portray the case in a readily understandable manner.
Clients can more readily grasp complex situations when they are presented with graphic images.
The graphics may be used to provide a foundation from which the client can supply additional information to the lawyer. Some graphics presentations simply include text. The manner and the typestyle in which the text is presented allows it to be a forceful communicator. Typical formats are single and multiple column lists. Subpoints can be preceded by a bullet, checkmark or other form of emphasis.
