Jury consultants help lawyers get a feeling for the local residents and their attitudes to a particular case. The research that jury consultants provide helps them advise lawyers on what kind of jurors would be best for their case and recommend questions to ask the jury pool to elicit an appropriate jury for their case. It can also help lawyers determine whether the members of the community will be able to put their opinions aside if called to serve as a juror. Furthermore, jury consultants sometimes set up mock juries using local residents; prosecutors or defense attorneys can then present their arguments to the mock jurors to gauge the community's attitude toward their case and their client. In addition, jury consultant firms use surveys and statistical modeling tests to help determine what kind of biases and prejudices prospective jurors in the area may have.
