Research

Realistic

We work hard to find jurors from the appropriate county and demographic.

You will be surprised at how seriously our jurors take our private trials. Because of the real-life format of the trial, and because actual verdicts are rendered, our jurors realize that their decisions affect the lives of both parties.

Extremely Helpful Feedback

Traditional Focus Groups allow legal teams to really understand jurors. On the other hand, the authenticity of a real trial is also extremely helpful in preparing your team in case it has to go to trial. It also helps to produce more realistic verdicts. First Court's process brings together the advantages of both worlds.



First Court's Vulcan Interactive™ software is the key to making this hybrid process work. With Vulcan, your entire team can not only instantly view the live trial data and video on site or via a remote video stream, it also allows teams to collaborate in real time, right during the trial!
