ThemeVision's litigation consulting is not limited to issues before trial courts. ThemeVision consults on cases at the appellate level in both state and federal courts. ThemeVision's trial consultants recruit former, and sometimes senior status, appellate judges to serve as focus groups for briefing and oral arguments. Like mock jurors at the trial court level, the appellate "mock judges" receive key information in a controlled, systematic, and unbiased manner. Their reactions and decisions are then precisely recorded, quantified, analyzed, and reported using appropriate social science methodologies. The result is a telling glimpse into the minds of the appellate judiciary and a chance for the appellate team to hone the themes and legal arguments most likely to resonate with appellate judges.
ThemeVision also prepares e-briefs that may be filed in certain appellate courts. An e-brief is an electronic/digital version of a brief that is provided to the court on a single CD-ROM. An e-brief includes the same text that appeared in the printed version of the brief submitted to the court, but the e-brief provides more functionality by means of hyperlinks to cited authorities (including links directly to pages designated in pinpoint citations), exhibits, court transcripts and records, and preceding briefs. Supporting materials in the form of photographs, videos, animations, or 3-D models can also be hyperlinked. The hyperlinks are seamlessly incorporated into the e-brief and allow the reader to access the cited information by simply clicking on the links.
