JuryScope

What JuryScope does

JuryScope is a privately held, Minneapolis-headquartered litigation consulting firm founded in 1998 that helps trial teams communicate complex legal and technical issues to jurors and bench decision-makers. The firm serves law firms and corporate legal departments engaged in litigation across the United States, with a marquee docket that has included Caltech, Broadcom, Apple, Case IH, Juno Therapeutics/Memorial Sloan Kettering, and Planned Parenthood. Its 15-service catalog spans the full litigation lifecycle, including early case review, directed focus group discussions, juror profiling research, deliberation group research, mock arbitration focus groups, strategy assessment research, large group surveys, witness preparation for fact and expert witnesses, jury selection assistance, opening observation studies, graphics conceptualization, moderated judge panels, virtual jury research, and post-trial juror interviews. Practice areas span intellectual property (over 40% of matters), contract, employment, insurance, antitrust, securities, product liability, and criminal law, with venue-specific expertise across state and federal courts in Delaware, California, New York, Wisconsin, Texas, Illinois, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Hawaii, and other jurisdictions.

The firm operates a traditional professional services model with no disclosed software platform, proprietary technology product, or AI/ML capability. Service delivery relies on a senior bench of trial consultants holding PhDs, JDs, and MBAs, supported by a ~16-person team overall. Pricing is custom and engagement-based, structured to maximize the value of early involvement, with multi-year contractual cadence; no public rate card exists. Distribution is direct, via enterprise sales to law firms and corporations, augmented by top-of-funnel content marketing through Law360 publications and mid-funnel CLE presentations to bar associations and educational institutions. JuryScope Hawaii, led by David Weinberg, MBA, is the firm's only disclosed regional subsidiary and extends its geographic footprint into the Pacific. The company is founder-owned with President Johanna Hillard, JD, and Vice President Christina Ouska, JD, leading the organization; no institutional investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity are disclosed.
