Voir Dire Research
Our team of investigators will start researching your panel of jurors as soon as you get the list. It is imperative to know as much as possible about the individuals who will make up your jury. How do they feel about weapons? Are they retired law enforcement? Do they show bias on their social media? These are just some of the questions we dig deeper into. We find the answers and we present our findings in an easy to navigate format so you can plug them into your own notes or formula. We help smooth line the voir dire process and give you the intelligence you need ahead of time. We can also be your extra eyes and ears in the courtroom during the voir dire process, watching for facial expressions and body language. Do not go forward into voir dire without the assistance we provide:
- Public Record Pulls: Scan voter registries, property deeds, and tax liens for background.
- Litigation History: Check local court indexes for prior lawsuits or criminal histories.
- Employment History: Gather intelligence on those who are in leadership positions, those who lack job stability, and those who are "retired."
- Corporate Ties: Identify business ownerships that might create a conflict of interest.
- Political Leaning: Review public posts to identify strong ideological or activist biases.
- Digital Footprint: Screen forums and public reviews for outspoken opinions.
- Hidden Connections: Check friend lists for links to witnesses, lawyers, or litigants.
- Sentiment Analysis: Assess past reactions to news stories involving similar legal issues.
- Body Language: Track physical reactions, shifting, or micro-expressions during questioning.
- Group Dynamics: Observe how potential jurors interact with each other in the gallery.
- Verbal Cues: Note changes in tone, hesitation, or defensiveness during answers.
- Deception Detection: Cross-reference spoken answers against known digital background profiles.
- Data Organization: Maintain a real-time spreadsheet tracking juror scores for the attorney.
