Our Processes
When You Want the Best Jury Research
Since 1993, Magnus has delivered tailored, scientifically developed mock trials, focus groups, and survey research, along with jury selection and witness preparation. We have served clients in 26 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands, covering nearly every county in our home state of Florida.
Solid Credentials and Extensive Experience
Founded in 1993, Magnus benefits from Dr. Pigott’s expertise, who has been conducting research in Psychology and the Law since 1980. Dr. Pigott is recognized as one of the leading jury experts in the U.S.
Scientifically Driven Jury Research
Effective jury research begins with a representative group of potential mock jurors. We invest significant resources into ensuring our mock jurors are jury-eligible within the trial venue.
Florida and National Expertise
We’ve worked in over 50 counties across Florida and in cities large and small across 26 states, from Alaska to the U.S. Virgin Islands.
What We Do
Our Practice Areas
Magnus specializes in jury research and trial consulting services, including mock trials, jury selection, and witness preparation, on both civil litigation and criminal cases. We also conduct community attitude surveys for high-profile or sensitive cases and offer trial exhibit and presentation services through Magnus Graphics. Magnus tailors its services to the specific needs of each case, emphasizing customization and flexibility.
Liability and Damages Research Methods: Mock Trials +
Magnus conducts mock trial research focused on assessing liability and damages, detailed within this category. This includes both small- and large-scale mock trials designed for juries, mediation, or bench trials.
Issue Evaluation Research Methodologies
Magnus conducts jury focus group research and community attitude surveys. These trial consulting services are typically used to examine case issues in a collaborative, non-adversarial setting.
Complex Case Research
Complex cases may call for advanced trial consulting services, often requiring several stages of research. These services can include in-depth jury focus groups and, in some instances, multiple mock trials.
Voir Dire Consultation
Voir Dire Consultation, commonly referred to as Jury Selection, is often what people think of when they hear “jury consultant” or “trial consultant.” Magnus provides in-court voir dire assistance, along with expertly prepared voir dire questions and, when necessary, supplemental juror questionnaires.
Mock Mediation and Arbitration Services
Magnus’ is skilled in tailoring research methods for unconventional applications. Dr. Melissa Pigott has a deep understanding of the mediation process. Magnus has successfully worked with attorneys aiming to resolve complex cases through arbitration and mediation.
Witness Services
A witness can significantly influence the outcome of a case. Because testifying doesn’t come naturally to most people, aside from expert witnesses, many witnesses can benefit from evaluation and preparation services. Dr. Pigott has extensive expertise evaluating and preparing witnesses to testify.
