Written presentation
A written presentation in a legal case and a legal concept is more often beneficial regardless of the case may be or whether a court has directed one to file any. Judges barely complain about written presentation so long as the opposing party is given a copy. Written submission entails the identity of the case plus the party which a barrister is writing the presentation for. It should be brief and not repetitive, be rightfully structured according to the nature of a case, e.g., use of appropriate headings and sub-heading, provide tables of content in complex cases. Headings should not be generic but rather useful, be in a logical order for easy decision making. A written presentation should be written early and often. A problem may arise when drafting the presentation and the earlier they are identified, the easier it will be to fix them.
The written presentation should at least be submitted to a judge a day before the hearing. It is better for one to email the presentation to the chamber then file them at the registry. Written submission should contain an opening, legal issues, and closing submissions. After one is done with writing the presentation, he/she should proofread it to collect grammatical errors, spelling mistakes, and poor formatting.
Oral presentation
In oral presentations, the first golden rule is for barristers to know that their first duty is not to their clients but rather to the court. A lawyer must never mislead a court because the court looks upon them for assistance (Mlphurs, 2013). If a court asks a question, the lawyer should answer it; if he or she is unable to answer, he should seek for assistance or take the question on notice. During the hearing, a lawyer should announce his or/her name and the party he appears for transparently. He/she should be prepared with short written notes discussed with any other side beforehand. State matters that are contentious and those that are not, have documents needed ready and copies for the opposing party, bring copies to the court as well and be aware of the power that the court posses to grant the orders your seeking. In the notice of the motion, a lawyer should state the power for relief sought if it is not contained in motion, give copies of any written evidence to the opponents, give summary of the details in the presiding, state what evidence he/she is relying on, The oral presentation should also have an opening submission, evidence, and closing submission. The opening submission should be brief, the evidence should be relevant and finally the closing submission should be referred back to the evidences provided.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.
