How a county gets its score

38%

Political context

A weighted blend of seven statewide races: 2024 President, 2022 Governor and Senate, and 2020 President among them. No single election can skew the number, and political lean is the most consistent predictor of award size we've found outside verdict data itself. It's the single largest factor in the model.

19%

Economics

Poverty rate, homeownership, unemployment, and household income, blended into one signal. Poverty rate carries the most weight here, since it tracks award size more reliably than income alone, but a county with a high poverty rate and otherwise stable finances scores differently than a county under strain across every measure.

15%

Grant rate

How often that county's trial court grants motions that end a case before trial, when the defense asks, including summary judgment, motion to dismiss, directed verdict, and similar. The more often it grants them, the fewer cases from that county ever reach a jury.

12%

Verdict history

Settlement and verdict outcomes on cases in that county that already resolved with a payment. Real signal on how a jury pool responds once a case is strong enough to get there, but it can only see cases that survived, so on its own it carries less weight than other categories.

8%

Industry

The county's dominant employer sector. A health care or manufacturing county puts a different kind of juror in the box than one where local government is the largest employer: different daily work, different exposure to insurance and liability, different instincts about what a fair recovery looks like.

8%

Correctness

How often state/superior court rulings hold up on appeal, in either direction. This isn't a plaintiff or defense signal on its own. It's a read on how careful the court tends to be when it makes that call.

The tools

Two tools, both built from the same county-level research behind this map. The mock jury panel is available now for all 159 counties. Mock judge is still in production.

Mock jury creator

A 12 person mock jury plus 3 alternates for the county of your choice, built from the same underlying data as the map. Use it to rehearse arguments and case narrative before trial.

This is a fictional panel built from real county demographics for argument rehearsal. It does not represent actual individuals and is not a guarantee of who will serve on your jury.

Mock judge

A sounding board for how to frame a motion or argument in front of your county's bench. It sharpens your angle, theme, and wording before you file, grounded in local case history instead of generic motion advice.

This is a fictional composite built for argument rehearsal. It is not a prediction of how any real judge will rule, and is not based on any specific real judge.

Mock jury panel

Pick your county.

Fifteen people — twelve jurors and three alternates — built from that county's own jury-eligible population. You get the same sheet you'd get in the box: age, household, occupation, education, how long they've lived there, and a paragraph on how each one sees the world. Delivered as a PDF the moment payment clears.
