How it works

Watch it work on a real panel.

Eight short videos take one case from an empty board to an exported report. No narrator explaining the philosophy, no slide deck. Just the app being used the way you would use it, with the courtroom clock running.

Every video below was recorded in the live app, not mocked up or reconstructed. The case, the panel, and the jurors are fictional.

Act one · Before trial

Two minutes of setup, done at your desk.

Nothing here happens in the courtroom. Install it once, build the case once, and arrive with the room already configured.

01

Install JuryBoard on Windows

0:24

Installing through Microsoft Edge so it opens in its own window and runs offline, with nothing for your IT department to approve.

01 · Install JuryBoard on Windows (Edge)0:24

Why this is firstMost trial lawyers assume an iPad app means buying an iPad. It does not. This is the whole Windows setup, start to finish, in under half a minute.

02

Create a case in under a minute

0:30

Case name, court, parties, and how many peremptories each side gets. Choose typed or handwritten notes as the default, then you are done.

02 · Create a Case in Under a Minute0:30

What to watch forMultiple parties are handled at setup, not improvised later. If you are one of four defendants with a shared strike pool, the arithmetic is already correct before anyone is called.

Act two · In the courtroom

The part where the clock is running.

Five videos covering everything that happens between the panel walking in and the jury being sworn. This is the sequence to watch if you only watch one section.

03

The workspace: box, pool and tracker

0:37

Three areas, one screen. The box holds who is seated, the pool holds everyone still waiting in call order, and the tracker holds both sides’ strike counts.

03 · The Workspace - Box, Pool and Tracker0:37

Why this is the important oneA paper chart shows you the twelve people already seated. The pool is the reason that is not enough: the jurors who will fill the seats you are about to empty are sitting in it, and you can start taking notes on them before they are ever called.

04

Seat jurors as they are called

0:28

The clerk calls a name, you tap the seat. Configure the box to match the room you are actually in, whatever the judge runs.

04 · Seat Jurors as They Are Called0:28

What to watch forSeating keeps up with the clerk. Nobody has to fall behind copying names into boxes while the next juror is already answering a question.

05

Rate, note and mark a juror

0:28

A thumb for a current impression, the juror’s own words in the note, and a mark for questioned. Handwriting with Apple Pencil converts to text you can search.

05 · Rate, Note and Mark a Juror0:28

What to watch forThe note has no edge to run out of. That is the point. A Post-it forces you to write leader, and a label is a conclusion you cannot audit two hours later. Here the sentence goes in whole.

06

Log a strike, then rebuild the box

0:41

Name the basis, hardship or cause or peremptory, pick the party spending it, and watch the substitution fill the seat.

06 · Log a Strike, Then Rebuild the Box0:41

Why this is the hardest thing to do on paperEvery strike changes who fills the seat, so the calculation you did thirty seconds ago is already wrong. Both sides’ counts sit inside the decision, and the record of what each strike was for builds as you go.

07

Raise your hand: tag the whole panel

0:27

Ask a question to the room, then tap every seat that goes up. One code, applied to twenty people, faster than you could write two names.

07 · Raise Your Hand - Tag the Whole Panel0:27

What this solvesShow-of-hands answers are the information most often lost, because there is no way to write down eleven hands before they go back down. This keeps every one of them, attached to the question that produced it.

Act three · Afterward

The part nobody currently has.

The verdict comes back and the paper chart is an illegible photocopy. Nothing gets reviewed, so the next selection starts from the same place as the last one.

08

Export the board to PDF

0:27

Seat layout, every strike with the basis you stated for it, and all of your notes, in a document you can read, file, and hand to a colleague.

08 · Export the Board to PDF0:27

Two usesOne is the record: a contemporaneous log of what each dismissal was for. The other is learning. A trial team that can review how it read a panel gets better at reading panels.
