Hear how a case theory survives deliberation.

Rehearse the reasoning around the record

AnthroSim’s Jury Deliberation format gives the room a judge-style instruction card, a defined issue, and bounded access to the project record. Participants discuss the evidence, then submit private final ballots with a rationale and confidence.

The product includes a complete fictional civil case that can be created from the Examples menu.

Ruiz v. Northstar Markets

Elena Ruiz alleges that Northstar Markets failed to inspect and clean a liquid spill before she fell in an aisle. Northstar disputes when the spill appeared, argues that Ruiz was distracted, and contests the extent of her damages.

The example creates 12 neutral discussion roles and a 75-minute Jury Deliberation. Its room card instructs the jury to apply the preponderance standard, decide negligence and causation before comparative fault and damages, use only the supplied record, cite evidence when practical, and keep ballots private until the final tally.

The consultable fictional trial record contains:

• Stipulated facts and the store’s inspection policy
• Inspection logs, a maintenance ticket, and a security-video description
• Transcript excerpts from Ruiz, a customer witness, store employees, and the treating physician
• The incident report, closing-argument summaries, final instructions, and verdict form

The disagreement is deliberate. A missed inspection is documented, while the source and timing of the liquid remain disputed. The record also contains credibility questions and competing damages evidence.

How to use the result

Review the transcript for ambiguous instructions, overlooked evidence, and claims that the cited packet does not support. Use those findings to improve a case outline or plan a human mock jury. A synthetic room cannot estimate a verdict probability, identify favorable juror demographics, replace trial counsel, or substitute for a jury consultant.
