SITUATION ANALYSIS: A non-legal assessment of
your case that provides a review of the case situation as it
is presented in case documents and trial team discussions. It
clarifies and identifies possible key themes and story lines
and forms the basis of optimal case strategy.

THEME DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH: Establishes
the clearest and most compelling themes and litigation strategies
by using surrogate jurors from the appropriate venue to deliberate
on and evaluate case arguments. This process reveals your strengths
and vulnerabilities, as well as those of your opponent, making
it an invaluable asset in the formation of the most influential
case presentation possible, particularly when performed early
in the discovery stage. This service concludes with SLR “debriefing” jurors
to formulate refinements and devise a course of action that
will sway the unconvinced.

MOCK JURY & MOCK BENCH TRIALS: The most comprehensive
forms of research we offer, entailing the complete setup and
execution of mock jury or bench trials using retired judges,
fact and expert witnesses, and/or surrogate jury panels relevant
to your venue. Mock trials can test every aspect of your
case - from the usefulness of graphics to attitudes toward damages
- en route to developing the most focused strategy for trial. SLR
completes mock trials by holding debriefing interviews with
the jurors or judges to collect nuanced details that will enhance
the persuasiveness of your trial approach.

WITNESS EVALUATION: This process assesses the strengths and
weaknesses of your witnesses, which can then be refined for your
trial preparations or in conjunction with witness preparation
service.

WITNESS PREPARATION: An indispensable facet of pre-trial work
that grooms your witnesses to remain focused and effective on
the stand or in deposition. This service allows SLR to identify
the factors that most impact juror decision-making and, in turn,
develop a plan as to how witnesses can best support the decided-upon
persuasive story.

COMMUNITY ATTITUDE SURVEYS: Custom-tailored questionnaires poll
a representative sampling of the eligible jurors in your venue
to ascertain current attitudes toward your case and client. The
resulting written report conveys an accurate understanding of
the trends affecting your case and is accompanied by recommendations
for handling them before and during trial.

CHANGE OF VENUE STUDIES: Carefully designed studies that gather
