How We Recruit Our Mock Jurors

How can you be sure that the mock jurors will perceive your case the same way as the real jurors?

Answer: By recruiting your mock jurors using the same method as the real jurors.    

• The reliability of mock jury decisions depends on the authenticity of the mock jurors and how they were selected
• Our competitors recruit mock jurors through advertisements, referrals, or volunteers
• The Jury Trial Consultants NEVER use classified ads or accept volunteers or referrals for both security issues and because it produces a biased jury
• The courts select jurors randomly from population sub-samples within the venue
• The Jury Trial Consultants duplicate the same random selection method as the courts use, and we further stratify our sample to ensure that we replicate the venue demographics
• The Jury Trial Consultants utilize random phone number selection supplemented with geographic zip code sampling techniques to provide representative cross-sections of jurors from the venue
• The Jury Trial Consultants include mock juror sampling quotas for employment criteria (e.g., proportion white collar/blue collar, etc.) to ensure representation of diverse occupational categories in our mock juries
• We obtain a diverse range of gainfully-employed citizens from the venue because we pay them a fair incentive for their time
• Our competitors re-use the same tired, unemployed, mock jurors repeatedly
• The Jury Trial Consultants NEVER re-use or recycle mock jurors
• During recruitment, prospective mock jurors undergo a screening process to eliminate any security risks and obvious cause or peremptory strikes
• The Jury Trial Consultants adherence to scientific methods ensures that we capture the prevalent experiences, values, and beliefs which drive jury perceptions and decisions.
