Trial Research

1. Voir Dire Development & Presentation

How can you find the right balance between learning more about the potential juror and advancing your arguments?

During every voir dire, an attorney is judging and being judged by the potential jurors. TCE will assist you in developing a more effective voir dire presentation for each individual case and venue.

2. Opening Statement & Closing Argument Presentation

Are you using the first few moments during an opening statement effectively?

Have your opening and closing become monologues instead of dialogues with the jurors?

Is your closing statement just a regurgitation of information or is it the conclusion to the story?

TCE assists the trial team in both the drafting and presentation style for both opening statements and closing arguments.

3. Juror Questionnaires

How can you obtain more information from the jury panel that will decide your case?

What types of personalities will be more receptive to the facts of your case?

The answers to both of these questions can be found through the effective use of Jury Questionnaires. Trial research shows that potential jurors are more open and forthcoming with information when answering written questionnaires than they are when answering questions by either a judge or an attorney. We specifically design Jury Questionnaires that will produce the best information about your panel.

4. Jury Selection

Who should you strike?

What are the jurors not saying that you should know?

What nonverbal clues are potential jurors communicating?

Jury selection is not a one person job. As the attorney, you have to ask the questions, record responses, and prepare for further questioning. Utilization of a trained eye, recording nonverbal responses and behavior as well as verbal communication is extremely beneficial in the jury selection process.

5. Trial Feedback

Are case themes being presented clearly for the jurors?

Is there an additional question that needs to be answered for the jurors during cross examination?

While you focus on the details is the big picture still apparent to the jury?

TCE will attend trial and assist with last minute witness preparation, drafting cross examination questions and ensure that final adjustments to graphics and exhibits have been made.
