Mock Trials*

A mock trial consists of two to four panels of mock jurors observing a day-long presentation of case evidence, testimony and arguments from both sides of a case (openings, witnesses, closings, etc). Jurors provide feedback through questionnaires and group deliberations, which are recorded via closed-circuit television and/or viewed live through one-way glass.

Mock Trials reveal core reactions a case generates in jurors. These reactions are often not anticipated from traditional legal analysis. Mock Trial data and deliberations provides essential insight into likely jury reaction. This insight is used to improve risk assessment, witness performance, and to sharpen jury selection and trial strategy.
