Once more you face a panel of strangers who will decide your client’s fate. You wonder:

1. Who will be biased against your client?
2. Who will look at my evidence objectively and with an open mind?
3. Who will be swayed by emotion, and what kind of emotion?
4. Who will truly obey the judge’s instruction?
5. Who will prides herself with not going along with the other jury members.

Bottom line: What values and biases drive panel members in their judgements?

There is a simple, direct, economical jury-selection service to answer these questions, which is the assessment of graphic gesture, which is unique to each of us.

The jury form filled out in the handwriting or hand printing of each potential juror is filled with expressive gestures. A handwriting specialist views the handwriting the way a body language specialist views the slightest voice inflection, or a witnesses shifting posture.

Handwriting offers information more revealing than mere words. And, just as things like judgment, sympathy and annoyance come across in the way words are spoken, on the jury forms they come across in the way words are written. A handwriting specialist notices these things in the written word just as a skilled trial attorney notices them in the spoken word.

You can know something of the jury panel’s inner attitudes and inclinations, that provides you information about how these jurors might react to you, and to your evidence during trial. You will have a map of the jurors individual strengths and weakness, as well as how they will, or won’t, work together during deliberations.

Using the information that a handwriting specialist can assess, from a signature card, or a full questionnaire offers you insight as to how each potential juror:

• receives and perceives information
• are persuaded by logic, emotion, or strictly by the law
• how much of the factual evidence is likely to be understood
• and how they are likely to interpret not only Counsel’s behavior during deliberations, but also the Judge’s interactions.

My expertise and experience as a handwriting specialist will provide as much of this information as the juror forms will permit a juror to express. Whether it be a card with x’s or check marks, only a signature, or a questionnaire, information can be gained to help you present your case to a favorable outcome.

To help me best help you, I will work with you to identify:

• the ideal mental and emotional nature required of a juror which you consider is needed for the specific issues in this case;

• the problems that the specific issues in this case might cause during jury deliberations;

and

• what your personal and psychological style might best be for approaching your jury.

A well trained Handwriting Specialist can make a significant contribution to the legal process. Insight into the potential jurors, the sitting jurors, lawyers, witnesses, experts and even the Judge can give you the upper hand in deliberations.
