Fairfax Jury Selection Consulting
The experiences and opinions of jurors have a significant impact on how they interpret and absorb the facts of a legal case. The best way to choose favorable jury members is to focus on striking potential jurors who have biases that mean they could never agree with the arguments you are making.
Our Fairfax jury selection consulting specialists have assisted many lawyers with choosing jurors who will be useful in their case. Our team can identify biases, create profiles of jurors to identify their biases, and record comments made during voir dire to make sure the right jurors are stricken from the panel and to make sure that you are arguing the facts of your case to a receptive audience.
Voir Dire Consulting
Our jury selection consultants can draft a questionnaire specific to your case. These questions will elicit the necessary information from the jury and inform your cause challenges as well as your peremptory strikes. We will also ask questions that will introduce your trial theme and help you use pertinent jury research to your benefit.
Our questions are carefully crafted to uncover specific biases and attitudes of jury members that would make it challenging for them to fairly and objectively hear your case. When a juror disagrees with your position, we can identify them without assisting the opposition with their own evaluation of possible jurors.
Helping with Jury Selection
While resonating facts and themes of a case have the biggest influence on the outcome of a case, choosing the right jury members is still a critical part of any trial. Once a case has proceeded to this stage, we can assist your trial team by recording juror’s responses during voir dire, leveraging juror profiles, recommending peremptory strikes, and preparing arguments for the case. Our experienced jury selection specialists can interpret the responses of jurors and assess answers on questionnaires, enabling us to make recommendations in real time that are based on real data.
Social Media Jury Research
Jury research today requires much more than simply relying on the demographics of jurors. Our jury selection experts will also consider the beliefs and attitudes of prospective jurors. Voir dire questioning and court questionnaires do not always truthfully reflect the beliefs and attitudes of jurors. However, the social media presence of prospective jurors can. When people go online, they often do not hesitate to showcase their true beliefs, personality, and attitudes. It is for this reason our consultants conduct jury research extensively online.
