Topics

Learn the advantages of conducting focus groups in your cases, from inexpensive informal discussion groups to full blown mock trials. Hear about the importance of recruiting and screening panelists in the venire your case will be tried, emphasizing the main defense points, and how to use the information to re-tool your case for trial.

Don’t let your jury be your first focus group!
