Jury Consultant

DOAR is a premier legal consulting firm that supports attorneys in high-stakes, high-profile civil and criminal matters. The Jury Consultant is a client-facing role responsible for designing and delivering jury research and litigation consulting engagements and translating findings into clear, practical recommendations that support case strategy.

This role is ideal for an experienced professional with strong research judgment, polished communication skills, and the ability to operate effectively in fast-moving, high-pressure environments. While not responsible for originating business, the Jury Consultant is expected to build credibility with clients, strengthen relationships over time, and contribute to DOAR’s reputation through excellent work, professionalism, and sound judgment.

This is not a traditional 9-to-5 role. Case demands, research events, and trial schedules may require evening and weekend work, sometimes with little notice.
