First Court provides multiple levels of jury selection assistance. Our trial consultants can consult with your team pre-trial about jury selection strategy and can sit with counsel to help decide which jurors to strike. Additionally, we have a team of juror background researchers who can do extensive online, public records, and social media background research on each individual juror.
One of First Court's expert trial consultants will work by your side in order to pick the best jury possible for your specific case.
Our team of remote researchers will thoroughly investigate each potential juror and communicate any findings with the trial team.
"Amanda and the team at First Court are fantastic. Their focus group led me to completely rethink and retool my opening statement, and the case settled shortly thereafter. I would highly recommend using their services."
Challenging and dismissing potential jurors can be a gamble. More than basic demographics, jurors’ beliefs, experiences, and values predict their behavior. Our experienced jury consultants can help you craft voir dire questions that identify the jurors who are most problematic for your case.
Your trial consultant will work with you from the war room to the courtroom and be present at jury selection to help counsel make the critical decisions on using peremptory challenges as you work to pick a reasonable jury.
Online background research is a valuable tool
during the jury selection process as it can provide valuable insights into the backgrounds, biases, and potential prejudices of the jurors. By conducting thorough research on social media platforms, attorneys and legal teams can identify any potential red flags or areas of concern in a juror’s background, which can help inform decisions about which jurors to strike or keep on the panel.
Additionally, social media research assists in
identifying any connections or relationships
between potential jurors and parties involved in the case. This service is often used post-verdict as well in order to find misconduct or other evidence for an appeal. Overall, social media research can provide a valuable added layer of information and context to the jury selection process, helping to ensure a fair and impartial jury.
