Sound Jury Blog

JULY 8, 2025

In the courtroom, clarity is power. No matter how sound a legal argument may be, if a jury doesn’t fully understand it — or can’t remember it — the advantage is lost. That’s why graphics aren’t just decoration in a trial presentation; they’re strategic tools that can sway outcomes. Visuals speak the language of jurors. The human brain is wired to process and retain visual information far more efficiently than text or speech.

International depositions involve so many details. You could (we have, in fact) make a list, or a few lists, of those details to keep on track. The length of a list or two may intimidate some, while a detail here and there may make another person cringe.

First, every case filed in district court alleged fraud. Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court held that, when the SEC seeks civil penalties for securities fraud, the defendant is entitled to a jury trial. See SEC v. Jarkesy, 603 U.S. 109, 120-21 (2024). So, it is no surprise that the SEC now files all of its fraud cases in district court (where a jury is available) and not in its administrative forum (where cases are decided by administrative law judges).
