Court Trial Observation & Insight Services Nationwide

Monitoring your trial strategy from start to finish.

IMS is still your partner when trial day arrives and our litigation consultants are by your side providing comprehensive support in the courtroom. The valuable input we contribute as the proceedings unfold allows you to stay on message.

To test and sharpen your trial strategy further, we offer shadow jury research throughout the trial so you know what is working and what needs to be adjusted. We can also conduct post-verdict juror interviews and analysis to gather jurors’ impressions of the case and the motivations for their decisions.

Partner with our experienced consultants to gain real-time trial insights and position your team for success.

Let's Get Started

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.
