Selection
Every Seat Matters. We Help You Fill Them Wisely.
Focus Litigation Consulting can also conduct online prospective juror searches either at trial, or in advance thereof, if allowable by the Court. Specifically, prospective juror searches consist of individualized online public records, behavioral, and social media searches of each prospective juror in the venire. Focus Litigation Consulting will generate the below publicly available information (if and when available). This information is then analyzed by Focus Litigation Consulting on-site during jury selection, or (if the venireperson list is available beforehand) in advance of trial, to determine whether there are any “red flags” or other reasons to de-select a juror or follow up during attorney-conducted voir dire.
Mock Trial
A simulated courtroom proceeding designed to replicate a real trial. It allows attorneys and trial consultants to test case strategies, witness presentations, and jury arguments before an actual trial. Mock jurors evaluate the evidence and testimony, providing valuable feedback on how a real jury might perceive the case. This process helps refine legal arguments, identify strengths and weaknesses, and improve overall trial preparation.
Focus Groups
A structured discussion involving a selected group of participants who represent potential jurors. The focus group evaluates key aspects of a case—such as themes, evidence, witness credibility, and messaging. The feedback gathered helps legal teams understand juror attitudes, perceptions, and potential biases, enabling them to refine trial strategy and improve case presentation before going to court.
Online Jury Research
A cost-effective and efficient method of gathering juror insights through digital platforms. Using online surveys, virtual mock trials, and remote focus groups, we can access a diverse pool of participants from across jurisdictions to evaluate case themes, witness effectiveness, and evidence presentation. This approach provides valuable feedback on how potential jurors might perceive the case, helping legal teams tailor strategies and messaging with precision—without the constraints of geography or time.
Judicial Research
Mock trials and focus groups specifically designed for bench trials, where a judge or group of judges, rather than a jury, serves as the fact-finder(s). This research involves analyzing judicial behavior, decision-making patterns, and legal preferences to tailor case presentation and arguments effectively. Judicial research is designed to help attorneys anticipate judicial responses and craft strategies that resonate with the court’s expectations and standards.
Settlement/Case Valuation Research
A method of assessing how jurors or decision-makers perceive the potential value or damages in a legal case. This research gathers feedback on issues such as liability, causation, and appropriate compensation, helping trial teams and their clients understand likely award ranges, identify risk factors, and make informed decisions about settlement, mediation, or trial strategy.
