Jury Selection & Post-Trial Juror Interviews
Gut feelings are sometimes helpful, but it is much better to choose your jury based on as many facts as possible. Our assistance in jury selection is typically based on the insights garnered from conducting a focus group on your case. We then recommend prototypes of desired jurors and jurors to be avoided, voir dire questions, probes, and follow-ups.
Let us do the full note-taking so that you may focus all your energy on being a good listener, building rapport, and connecting with jurors.
We remind you about next questions to ask, and assist in final decisions. Summarized responses of panel may be used to repeat back their phrases and comments throughout the trial, including in opening statements and closing arguments.
Following trial, we develop quick rapport with departing jurors and find out what was really important to them. Phone interviews available.
