Fliptron Trial Preparation

I’ll make this a quick post, since this isn’t something you could use in trial, but it’s such a cool service I couldn’t resist mentioning it. It’s called Poll Everywhere and it’s a service that allows you to poll your audience in real time using their cell phones! You simply ask your audience a question, they respond via text message, and then you can view the responses online or in a PowerPoint slide.

Though you would probably have a hard time convincing a judge to let you use this during your closing arguments (Text NOT GUILTY to 41411!), Poll Everywhere could certainly come in handy for a presentation at a legal conference or symposium. For example, you could pause for a minute to do a quick comprehension check after covering a particularly difficult concept. Or, if you have a large audience, you could use to power your Q&A session.

If you think this sounds great, head on over to the Poll Everywhere website and sign up! Free plans are available for testing and the collection of up to 30 responses.

Think this is something you will use in the future? Do you have any creative ideas for its use? Please, comment below!
