FOCUS GROUPS & MOCK TRIALS

Test the Case
Before the Courtroom

Technology, presentation, and logistical support for in-person and virtual focus groups and mock trials—helping legal teams and jury consultants test case themes, evidence, presentations, and arguments before trial. 

PRETRIAL RESEARCH SUPPORT

See How the Case Lands
Before it Matters Most.

Focus groups and mock trials give legal teams the opportunity to test how real people respond to the case before entering the courtroom. Breedlove Strategies provides the technology, presentation, and logistical support behind the research—working alongside counsel and jury consultants to help sessions run smoothly from setup through participant discussion and deliberation.

BUILT AROUND THE RESEARCH

Every Session is Different.
The Support Should Be Too.

Focus groups and mock trials can take many forms—from dedicated research facilities and law firm conference rooms to courtrooms and virtual sessions. We adapt the technology, presentations, recording, and session support to the format and needs of each project.

​

Whether we're supporting a live presentation, coordinating multiple rooms, recording attorney presentations for later playback, or adapting the setup as the research evolves, our role is simple: handle the technical details so counsel and jury consultants can focus on the research.

MOCK TRIAL RESEARCH

From Presentation to Deliberation.

After hearing the case, participants provide individual feedback before breaking into smaller groups to discuss the evidence, apply jury instructions, deliberate, and explain the reasoning behind their decisions.
