How Lawyers Can Use Circus Ponies NoteBook in Trial

Posted on July 22, 2014 by Ben Stevens Posted in Guest Posts, How Do I ...?, Office Management, Online Resources, Software, Technology 28 Comments

Circus Ponies NoteBook is a unique productivity tool that can be used in many different ways.  My good friend, Kern Lewis, a trial attorney in Grapevine, TX, has used this program for several years to help organize his cases and present them at trial.

Kern recent conducted an hour long webinar to demonstrate his techniques, and he was kind enough to record it and allow me to share it with my readers.  I have uploaded the video to YouTube, which you can view here or below.

Kern has also been generous enough to share his NoteBook template referenced in the video.  You can get your own copy of Kern’s sample template by emailing me and asking for it.

I want to extend my heartiest thanks to Kern for his time and effort in producing this video and also for his willingness to allow me to share it with my readers.  If you are interested in learning more about Kern’s practice, I encourage you to visit his firm’s website WarriorsForJustice.com.

    Hi Ben! Richard Stewart here-we met at MILOFEST. I see the Kern video on circus pony notebook is no longer on youtube. I would love to have seen it. If You still have the Kern’s trial templates I would love to receive them. I trust you are doing well, and sincerely hope to see you again in the near future. Thanks!

    Ben –
    The Kern Lewis video about Circus Ponies Notebook that you linked to isn’t there any more. Do you still have a way to link to it? Can you provide that link if it exists?

    Thanks,

    Stephen

    I am just starting up a 1 person law office and am using MAC based infrastructure. Your advice has been very helpful, indeed. Based upon advice from your blog, I have started to use NoteBook 4, and would like to get a copy of the templates for trial.

    Thanks.

    Thank you for all the work you put into this. I am an independent researcher writer working in the field of applied brain research. May I please have a copy of your template? It would be useful to adapt it to my needs. Additionally, I research the brains of lawyers, so I would love to have raw the raw data your document represents.

    Also, do you know if there is a way to utilize the feature to multidex access multiple notebooks simultaneously? I know this is essentially asking it to behave like a relational database, but I am hoping someone like you needed to access a consolidated list of all the instances of “x” data, including from A, F, and Z cases, w/o having to merge all the notebooks.
    Thank you!! Sydney
