Jury Selection

Selecting the right jurors is one of the most consequential decisions a trial team makes, and it requires more than instinct or experience alone. Jurors bring their own beliefs, backgrounds, and biases into the courtroom, shaping how they interpret evidence and evaluate credibility. DOAR’s trial strategy consultants draw on behavioral insight, jury research, and real-time analysis to help attorneys identify which individuals are most receptive to their case themes.

We translate data about juror attitudes, life experiences, and cognitive tendencies into clear, actionable guidance that strengthens voir dire strategy and supports confident decision-making in court. Our approach blends social science, practical experience, and focused observation to ensure that jury selection reinforces the larger trial narrative and positions the case for success.

Juror Selection Strategies

Targeting the Right Jurors

Our consultants apply data from jury research, demographic analysis, and attitudinal profiling to advise on which jurors are most—and least—likely to respond favorably to your themes. We support counsel in court, provide real-time assessments, and help prioritize peremptory and for-cause challenges. This approach ensures decision-makers are selected with precision, not intuition.

“I have worked with DOAR for almost 20 years. All DOAR does, all day long, is help you and your clients win. The DOAR team works hand-in-hand with counsel to develop insights that enable better, smarter litigation decisions, and powerful presentations at trial.”
