Focus Groups & Mock Trials
The jury system adds a degree of uncertainty in evalu- ating a case; therefore, Frantz Law Group’s philosophy is that conducting mock trials or practice trials, can pro- vide attorneys and clients with a better understanding of likely trial results. Frantz Law Group has conducted mock trials in cases involving potential damages of $1 million or more. Frantz Law Group is one of a select group of law firms that utilizes mock trials and focus groups to assist in predicting trial outcome. Mock trials are an excellent indicator of how jurors may evaluate a case. For many years, the advertising industry has used focus groups to determine how consumers will react to a specific marketing program before launching expensive sales campaigns. Surprisingly, few lawyers “test the market” before taking a case to trial. For the overwhelm- ing majority of trial lawyers, the first time they have sub - stantial insight into how a jury will view the case is when the verdict is read. At that point, it may be too late to “fix what is broken.”
