  Appellate

     Representative Experience
 

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.

      
   E-Brief Submitted to the Supreme Court of Texas - Texas

Developed e-briefs submitted to the Supreme Court of Texas in a wrongful death case.  The e-briefs included links to all case law and record citations, as well as links to videos, illustrations, and animations.


Criminal Election Fraud - Kentucky

Conducted a mock briefing project in which draft and actual appellate briefs were sent to a panel of former appellate judges in advance of filing with the court.  The appellate judges were surveyed regarding their reactions to the briefing and participated in a moderated conference call to further share their thoughts and opinions regarding the briefs.  The comments of the panel of former judges were evaluated by ThemeVision and by the legal team, with many of the judges' questions and comments being addressed in the briefing that was ultimately filed with the court.  Ultimately, ThemeVision's client prevailed, with the appellate court overturning the decision below.
