Virtual Focus Groups: Case Analysis and One-On-One Strategy Planning

AAJ's cost-effective solution to focus group your next case.

About the Program

Focus groups are invaluable tools for finding the key issues and weaknesses in your client’s case—but they can be time-consuming and expensive to run. This virtual program takes the guesswork out of conducting your own focus groups and matches you with experienced faculty to guide you through the process. You get three different, hand-picked focus groups with participants from your case’s jurisdiction.

I'm Interested

Registration Includes:

  • You’ll be assigned to a faculty member for one-on-one case analysis
  • Bring an additional member of your trial team at no cost
  • Access to lectures on getting the most of the virtual focus groups, and developing your trial story and juror decision-making in a virtual world

Registration Fee: $7,995 for AAJ Members

The registration fee includes a second member of your trial team.

Additional fees may apply for extra focus group sessions, extra focus group participants, and other options possible based on your needs. AAJ staff will work with individual registrants to determine the best package for your case.

AAJ’s Virtual Case Analysis program is by far the best value AAJ has to offer. At only that price you get three focus groups , with participants from your specific venue. The faculty members are outstanding and do the bulk of the work for you. All you need to do is sit back and watch. I will definitely keep signing up for these programs. It is a no brainer.
