Trial Observation & Insights

Our Trial Observation Services

• 

  Shadow Juries

  Receive immediate feedback on your trial strategy with a shadow jury of 4-6 participants who are demographically and characteristically similar to your actual jury panel.

  Shadow jurors watch your trial from the courtroom gallery (or online in a virtual trial) and give feedback to our jury consultants during breaks. We analyze their comments and deliver near-instant insights so you can adapt strategies, press witnesses for more, and resolve ambiguities when it matters most.

• 

  Trial Monitoring

  Our veteran jury consultants have observed hundreds of trials in venues across the country. This experience allows us to provide valuable input on your opening statement, witness examination, and overall strategy.

  We also work with your trial team to maintain a cohesive narrative throughout the proceedings and assist the jury in understanding and retaining your case story. We apply insights gained during the trial to help you build a strong closing argument that cements your claim in jurors’ minds.

• 

  Post-Trial Interviews

  Following the trial, we can interview individual jurors about the specific components of your case that did and did not resonate with them—giving you powerful feedback to apply to future disputes.

  Our consultants explore jurors’ understanding of your key issues, the effectiveness of your trial themes and arguments, perceptions of the attorneys and witnesses, and hot-button topics from the deliberation room.
