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