Air Alliant v. New Piper Aircraft
The San Francisco based law firm of Kenney & Markowitz hired Clear Case Legal to support their document management needs in this aircraft product liability case. Several thousand critical case documents were processed for plaintiff's counsel to be shown via trial presentation software purchased through Clear Case Legal — who also provided application training and support to the trial team.

For this conversion case, Clear Case Legal was retained through Gerrard Cox & Larsen (Las Vegas) to review and systematically extract superfluous information and to translate the remaining pertinent, but colorless, financial data into a series of simple, yet compelling, frame build demonstratives for plaintiff.
Hinton v. Motor Coach Industries
In this Product Liability/Wrongful Death case, Clear Case Legal supported the co-counsel defense team of Hartline Dacus Barger Dreyer & Kern (Dallas) and Adams & Reese (New Orleans).

For trial, Clear Case produced more than thirty electronic and hardboard demonstratives.
Promontory View v. Haskell Constructors
Clear Case Legal was retained by the firm of Wood Smith Henning & Berman (Phoenix and Costa Mesa) to develop a comprehensive set of over 40 graphics for this complex construction defect/insurance defense case. Clear Case worked with expert witnesses to create animated interactive tutorials that explained how elements of the development were originally constructed, why problems occurred and how defendants planned to remediate the problem. In the process, we seamlessly linked together photographs, diagrams, and construction data so that they could easily be displayed during trial.
National Resources Defense Council v. Patterson et al
In one of California's most influential and publicized environmental lawsuits in history, Clear Case Legal worked with NRDC's large and geographically diverse team — which included lead co-counsels; supporting environmental organization leaders; and experts in hydrology, fish and game, land use and media relations — to develop a coherent visual litigation strategy. Utilizing state-of-the-art GIS mapping tools, Clear Case Legal produced 3D animation tutorials for trial and for use on the Internet and in the media.
Summit Builders v. Brisbane Hotel Partners
LaMore Brazier Riddle & Giampaoli (San Jose) retained Clear Case Legal for this construction defects case in which plaintiff claimed it built a hotel to design specifications, yet did not receive payment in full.

Clear Case Legal produced 15 hardboards, graphics and animations that explained existing soil conditions, the site infrastructure and the role of subcontractors in the construction process.
Electronic Data Systems Securities Class Action
Clear Case Legal worked with co-counsels Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann (San Diego) and Lowenstein Sandler (New York) to devise a visual litigation strategy for plaintiffs in this securities fraud case. Complex accounting processes were distilled into easily understood animated tutorials. Another tutorial demonstrated how information flow impacts stock value. An interactive timeline compared public statements by key executives with contradictory information within the company. In all, about 16 strategic demonstratives were produced for testing in mock trial and trial. Despite the complexity of the issues, jurors were able to readily grasp concepts, resulting in a clear valuation of the case and a beneficial ($137.5M) settlement for our client.
