Focus Groups:
Robin can help you put together focus groups to unearth problems that are lurking in your case - problems that will inevitably rear their ugly heads when it might be too late to fix them. Lawyers sometimes think that jurors' reactions come out of left field but they don't. Focus groups will tell you exactly where jurors' reactions are coming from, right from the beginning. Knowing this information early on will place you and your client on the same page, allowing you to maximize your goals during the Discovery process and helping you to forge realistic goals and strategies - not just on the eve of trial, but at every stage of the litigation process. Using focus groups to prepare a written voir dire questionnaire: In every high-profile case, written questionnaires are suggested to the court. However, questions and answers are of no use if you don’t understand the significance of jurors’ answers. If you don t have the time and money to conduct full mock trial, a pre-trial focus group can be a quick and economical way to gain critical knowledge before jury selection.
Mock Trials:
A mock trial is the most efficient and reliable way to test drive a case. A mock trial will help reveal the strengths and weaknesses that unify a diverse group of jurors, no matter what their differences in background. Mock trials give you the advantage of seeing and hearing dozens of jurors deliberate the issues — a powerful edge in testing and refining the case strategy.
Juror Questionnaires and Jury Selection:
Robin can assist you with the development of prospective juror questionnaires. Juror questionnaires are used routinely in courts around the country. A thoughtful, well-crafted questionnaire elicits a wealth of information from prospective jurors that is invaluable in making effective cause and peremptory challenges. Juror questionnaires expedite voir dire and can provide you with candid information from prospective jurors.
Robin can also assist you in Court with selecting potential jurors.
