Mock Trials (one side presents)

Private Trials or Appeals (both sides present)

 

• To judge or jury
• Custom designed
• For settlement negotiations or in preparation for trial or appeal

 

Trial in an actual courtroom setting—USA&M has access to the newly renovated courtrooms in the Gus Solomon Courthouse across the street from our offices; the jury is recruited from the same judicial district in order to measure jurors’ reactions to your case; the trial is privileged as attorney/client work product.

 

 

Design your own process:

· In aid of settlement

· To better prepare for an upcoming trial or appeal

· To evaluate witnesses’ and clients’ performance

· To measure the strengths and weaknesses of your case/presentation in advance

 

Get feedback from judge or jury on:

· Presentation of evidence

· Effectiveness of evidence

· Effectiveness of witnesses

· What is missing in presentation of the case

· Impact of arguments

· Understanding of opponents arguments and their impact

 

Procedure:

1) Selection of Judge

2) Discovery (optional)

3) Pre-trial motions (optional)

4) Trial using simplified rules of evidence and procedure
