LITIGATION CONSULTING
Voir Dire & Jury Selection
We help trial teams plan and execute voir dire and jury selection using behavioral science and case-specific insights.
What is Voir Dire & Jury Selection Support?
Our Voir Dire & Jury Selection support focuses on helping trial teams ask better questions, recognize meaningful juror signals, and make more informed strike decisions. We integrate case themes, venue norms, and, when available, empirical juror profiling to build a practical plan for the panel you are likely to see.
Working with the trial team, we develop question frameworks that surface attitudes and experiences most predictive of risk, while respecting court constraints and local practice. During selection, we assist with note-taking, pattern recognition, and real-time risk assessment so that decisions are grounded in both the record and behavioral science.
The objective is to improve the quality of information you gather and the quality of the decisions you make, not to chase a 'perfect' panel. Our role is to bring structure, discipline, and psychological insight to a fast-moving, high-stakes process.
Why Trial Teams Partner with Us
Case-Specific Question Design
We help craft voir dire questions that are tightly linked to your case theory and known risk factors. This increases the likelihood that limited questioning time yields information you can actually use when evaluating cause challenges and peremptories.
Behavioral Cues and Pattern Recognition
Drawing on cognitive and social psychology, we assist in interpreting juror language, nonverbal behavior, and group dynamics. We focus on patterns across the panel rather than isolated comments, helping the team distinguish between noise and meaningful signals.
Clear, Shared Decision Framework
We work with you to define in advance what constitutes a 'high-risk' juror for this case and how to prioritize strikes. This shared framework reduces ad-hoc decision-making at counsel table and supports more consistent, defensible choices under time pressure.
