JURY SELECTION
Based on in-depth case analysis, voir dire questions are devised to
discover the best jurors for your case. Or based on juror questionnaires,
a prompt sheet and preliminary rating is created for each prospective
juror. When you rise to voir dire each prospective juror, you are in
a position to ask questions and clarifications so that we can make a
rapid assessment of that juror.
WITNESS
PREPARATION
Your witnesses want and need to know what is expected of them. Do you
have the time and energy to give each witness detailed explanations
of what they will encounter? Can you calm their fears; show them the
view from the witness box, and how to use the court microphone? Do they
know what to wear, where to look, phrases to avoid, when to arrive,
where to sit, how to act if they see a juror, and effective demeanor
in court? We can give them professional advice and virtually hold their
hands, both pre-trial and during trial.
CONTINUOUS
TRIAL ANALYSIS, PERFORMANCE AND STRATEGY
There is only one of you, even if you have co-counsel. Your minds are
full of facts, points of law, exhibits, and deadlines. What is the opposition
doing? We will:
Keep
an up-to-date notebook of the major thrust of every witness, attorney,
and all testimony
Observe
the jury and log their reactions to witnesses, testimony, experts and
your client
Strategize,
plan and organize with you
Prepare
a Closing Argument Notebook
SHADOW JURORS
A few shadow jurors can provide you with unique perspectives and probably
tell you what the jury is thinking.
POST-TRIAL
JUROR INTERVIEWS
What did the jurors think about the case, the facts, the evidence, you?
They wouldn't tell these things to your face. But they have been through
an adventure and they will oftentimes willingly share feelings and opinions
with a friendly person who has gone through the same experience. Where
did things go awry? What did they like about your experts? What did
you do right? How can you improve for the next time you are in litigation?
In-depth interviews are conducted with any juror willing to have a discussion
in person or on the phone. The conversations are documented for your
review.
