Legal graphic: Timeline for corporate law trial

The defense’s case largely hinged on when things happened, so I created three timelines: this overall timeline and one each for the two most critical years. In each, the plaintiff’s actions are shown in the bottom half, and the defendants’ and the corporation’s actions are shown in the top half.

Actual size of the poster is 4 ft. x 8 ft.

Note: Because of the complexity of each case, the attorneys want simple posters crystallizing some critical part of their case that the jury can stare at when they get bored. Attorneys typically hand me a tall stack of legal briefs and leave it to me to discern the essentials of their case to present visually. All names have been changed here.
