Mock Trials and Focus Groups have proven to be highly effective when needing to test the waters before an important trial. To ensure the desired outcome at trial, a law professional can test the difficulties, relevant facts, and legal arguments that a case may face using a mock jury or focus group.
When facing a trial in a civil, criminal, or family law case an attorney can examine it for errors and test a jury’s reaction in the prescribed setting of a Mock Trial. When the law professional wants to test theories or legal maneuvers to determine what is the most effective way to present a case, our Focus Group will prove highly beneficial.
When working with a legal team on a Mock Jury or Focus Group, we will obtain the case facts and set the stage in the desired judicial circuit and demographics from where a jury is expected to be selected. We conduct an application process to qualify “jurors” or “group” participants, secure the facility for the event and provide all necessary tools needed to support the project.
