Mock Juries
Bernett Research lets you try your case before you take it to court
Mock juries let you find out firsthand how a select group of individuals will respond to your courtroom strategy before you go to court.
If your strategy depends on the testimony of an expert witness, for example, don¹t wait to find out in the courtroom that your expert comes across as arrogant or obtuse.
Your opening statement could set the entire courtroom proceedings in a direction that serves your strategy; or not. Try it out while there is still time to refine it.
Think your closing statements are compelling and dramatic. Don¹t wait until the verdict to find out you talked over the jurors¹ heads. Bernett understands that you need more than a room with a one-way mirror to test your courtroom strategy. Other focus facilities can offer you space. Because of its professional research and data collection capabilities, only Bernett offers you the full range of services that you need to conduct your mock trials in the right room with the right people.
A survey research firm with access to databases that cover virtually every demographic segment, Bernett Research can recruit the exact profile of jurors that you expect to confront in the juror box at your next trial. No other focus facility in the Boston area can offer you that level of professional research services. We can also recruit representative mock juries for focus facilities in other cities around the country.
Designed from the ground up to provide everything necessary to host a successful meeting, our focus facility also provides high-speed Internet access, video and audio taping, and video conferencing. Fully-equipped, private offices are also available so Bernett clients can be in regular contact with their home offices during their time as guests of Bernett Research.
Bernett has 30-years experience hosting focus groups and understands that there is much more to a successful mock jury than a comfortable room. The atmosphere at the research facility, as a result, is corporate and relaxed. It is obvious as soon as you get off the elevator at the World Trade Center East that Bernett is a place where you will be able to get things done.
