I feel kind of silly for having this as a "Tip," but I need a place to share a couple of URLs and ideas.
My kids watch a very entertaining TV show called 'Mythbusters,' where some science-geek hosts put together experiments to test various myths. Are bananas really slippery (yes!); does drinking alcohol really keep you warm? (sadly, it does not). In my next life, when I come back as a Mythbuster science-geek TV host, I will test the validity of a trial myth that I hear a lot in this life - "Every case needs a timeline." I guess I don't disagree entirely. Yes, every case needs a timeline, but I'm far from convinced that every trier of fact needs to see a timeline. Every case needs to have a chronology developed for planning purposes, but consider pausing before you proceed to producing the timeline. Ask whether the timeline is primarily being produced as presenter-notes, or primarily as a visual communication tool. Proceed with production if it's the latter. For bonus points, articulate what you want your timeline to communicate visually, and brainstorm whether another graphic could meet the visual communication objective.
