Picking the right jury is crucial to your case’s success, yet many lawyers will often invest hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars to get their cases to trial without considering what tools will actually help them pick a winning jury.
Stop trying to read scribbled and rushed notes from a sticky pad. Forget using colored markers and flags. There are better tools that make it easier for you to pick a jury.
Using modern technology in voir dire gives you the ability to focus on communicating with your jurors, and not worrying about names, responses, or keeping track of who raised their hands and when. Modern courtroom technology allows you to collaborate with your team, maintain readable and organized notes, measure the quality of each juror, and track the demographics of your panel, as well as those sitting in the jury box, all in real time.
A few unique benefits of using technology in the courtroom include:
- Phonetically spelling jurors’ names so you can pronounce them properly
- Quickly modifying adjustable seating charts to meet any courtroom configurations or changes
- Rating jurors with customized scales to help track subtle differences
- Creating avatars that reflect a juror’s gender, age, and race, so you can identify the right juror quickly and confidently
- Tracking peremptory challenges and any signs of discrimination
- Sending messages among your team in real time
