Why Use Vulcan Research Services for Mock Trials?

Every successful mock trial or focus group relies on careful planning, precise logistics, and seamless execution. Yet managing these details can quickly become overwhelming for trial consultants, pulling focus away from what matters most: interpreting results and developing strategy.

Vulcan Research Services steps in as your all-in-one partner, bringing over 30 years of experience from our parent company, First Court, to every project. From juror recruiting to technology setup and data collection, we handle the complexities behind the scenes. The result? Consultants can concentrate fully on research insights and client outcomes, confident that every logistical detail is expertly managed.

Time Savings for Trial Consultants

Time is one of the most valuable resources for trial consultants. Every hour spent managing participants, technology, or scheduling is an hour taken away from analyzing insights and preparing strategy.

Vulcan Research Services eliminates that burden. Our team handles the full spectrum of logistics, so consultants can dedicate their attention to research and client outcomes. Imagine running a multi-day mock trial without worrying about whether jurors show up, the AV works, or the data is collected accurately — that’s the efficiency we provide.

Seamless Juror Recruiting and Participant Management

Finding the right participants for mock trials or focus groups can be a challenge. Some panels require very specific demographics, and recruitment delays can disrupt project timelines.

With Vulcan Research Services, trial consultants gain access to an experienced juror recruiting team. We manage outreach, screening, scheduling, and even follow-ups. For difficult-to-recruit profiles, we go the extra mile, ensuring your panels are complete, representative, and ready for research.

Example: For a recent project, our team secured a specialized juror panel in a market where recruitment was expected to take weeks — we completed it in days, keeping the project on schedule.

Reliable AV and Tech Setup for Livestreams and Remote Events

Technical issues can derail even the best-prepared mock trials. Vulcan Research Services ensures that AV and tech setup is seamless, whether your trial is in-person, hybrid, or fully remote.

We also supplement facility equipment when rental costs are high, reducing overhead for our clients. Using our expertise in Zoom mock trials and online focus groups, we provide reliable livestream platforms, online access, and tech monitoring, so you can focus on research rather than troubleshooting.
