Jury Research & Profiling
Delivered when you need it, so you can make confident strike decisions during voir dire. Mayer Consulting provides jury research and profiling for trial attorneys handling high-stakes cases.
Jury Intel consolidates panel data, supplemental questionnaires, jurisdictional notes, and verified social findings into unified juror profiles. Available to license directly for large firms with mature in-house research operations.
Most clients hire our team to run the work. A small cohort of firms with mature in-house operations license the platform directly. The methodology is the same on both sides.
Voir dire is your moment. We make sure you walk in knowing who you’re talking to. Mayer Consulting translates raw panel lists into structured juror intelligence—life experiences, cultural influences, media consumption, social media activity, and the implicit biases that may shape how a juror evaluates your case.
See what we deliverWe built Jury Intel because we needed it. The platform consolidates panel data, questionnaires, jurisdictional notes, and verified social findings into unified juror profiles with clear source attribution. Every output is auditable. Every data point is traceable.
License the platformThe platform is the reason we deliver actionable profiles the same day a panel list is released, even in counties that provide no lead time.
It’s why our analysis stays consistent across consultants and cases. And it’s why our work scales without losing rigor. For most clients, Jury Intel is the engine behind the service. For a small number of large firms with mature in-house research operations, the platform is also available to license directly through our commercial beta program.
Every engagement produces the same set of deliverables, whether our team builds them for you or your in-house team builds them on the platform.
Structured intelligence on each member of the panel. Life history, cultural background, employment, media consumption, and verified online activity, organized into a clear picture of each juror’s worldview.
Built from panel rosters, questionnaires, jurisdictional notes, and verified social findings—each datapoint sourced and timestamped.
The attitudes and lived experiences most likely to influence how a juror processes case theory. Surfaced clearly so they inform questioning and challenges.
Specific concerns about specific jurors, ranked by significance, so nothing critical hides in a 200-page packet during a compressed selection window.
Aggregate analysis showing how attitudes cluster across the panel—revealing the deliberation dynamics likely to emerge in the jury room.
Three disciplines, applied consistently across every engagement and every license. The work is rigorous because the methodology is.
We use established research methods to uncover the values, experiences, and implicit biases that influence how jurors evaluate evidence and arguments. Every conclusion is grounded in methodology that holds up to scrutiny.
With over 72% of Americans actively using social media, online behavior often reveals what voir dire questions cannot. The platform’s research workflows surface activity and stated values that may influence juror decisions—our methodology separates signal from noise.
Every data point passes through a verification step before it lands in a profile. The same investigative rigor that produces certified legal investigators applies to the work we do here.
Katherine’s career spans academic research, frontline casework, and strategic trial consulting. She earned her Master’s in Forensic Psychology while interning with the Capital Defender of Northern Virginia, then served as a Mitigation Specialist with Miami-Dade County’s Capital Litigation Unit on death penalty cases that demanded rigorous investigation and nuanced research.
In 2012, she founded Mayer Consulting in Austin to deliver holistic criminal defense support combining fact investigation, mitigation, and jury research under one roof. In 2017, she became the first woman in Texas to achieve board certification in criminal defense investigation.
