What We Do
Trial Consulting Services
From early-stage strategy to courtroom preparation, we bring the science of jury research to every phase of your case.
Trial Consulting Services
Strategy Development: Focus Groups
Jury research in the early stages of a case - as early as pre-suit - can guide theme development and offer strategic recommendations for telling the story of your case.
Strategy Testing: "Mock Trials"
Mock Trials and Jury research conducted near the end or after the close of discovery is helpful in testing trial strategy and getting feedback and strategic recommendations on the thematic trial story.
Case-at-a-Glimpse
Not every case warrants the time or money of jury research, yet it always pays to hear jurors talk about your case before proceeding to trial. We can set up and run a streamlined project to offer that glimpse without our signature deep-dive analysis.
Strategy Practice
Practicing the opening to our consultants or to mock jurors can provide insight for final tweaks to the trial story and visuals. Voir dire practice studies with mock jurors can be done independently or in conjunction with any other type of jury research project.
Mediation Insights
Before mediation, jury research can offer critical insights that allow your team to bring intelligence to the table. Come to the table from a position of strength provided by jury insights.
Witness Preparation
Each witness carries a piece of the story. Alongside the attorneys, we ideally work with key witnesses before they are deposed or before they take the stand at trial. Key is for witnesses to tell the truth. Aggressive plaintiff tactics and general witness fear can be a barrier to jurors' gaining a clear view of the truth.
Jury Selection and Voir Dire
We can work with your team to develop effective voir dire questions and can also assist in writing and reviewing written juror questionnaires. We can also be available for in-court jury selection assistance.
Brainstorming
Budgets and time do not always allow for mock trials. We can brainstorm strategy and themes for your case based on our extensive experience and jury research insights.
Shadow and Reflection Juries
High stakes and serial litigation can benefit from matched jurors shadowing the trial or reviewing trial proceedings to reflect for the next trial.
Mock Mediation / Mock Arbitration / Mock Bench Trials
Juries are not the only litigation decision makers. When you face an arbitrator, mediator, or bench trial, we can bring in a panel of arbitrators, mediators, or retired judges to hear the case and write their opinions.
