  1. Sample Closing Powerpoint This is a sample PowerPoint closing statement in an auto accident case. The jury in this case awarded over $660,000. It is a little bit of a mess because of the desire to redact pictures, names, etc. But it should give a guide as to how to use Powerpoint in a closing statement. (Best piece of advice: keep away from the bullet points and stick to the evidence.)
