There may be no better measuring stick for an attorney than the opinions of their peers. The same is true for medical illustrators. During the Association of Medical Illustrators’ (AMI) Annual Conference, each year a judged illustration competition is held. One of the largest and most competitive categories is the Medical-Legal category. Unlike most art competitions, the illustrations are not judged primarily on aesthetics. Instead, the most important criteria are anatomical accuracy and how effective the visuals are in communicating a stated message to the jury.
