Two Minutes to Win the Jury with Robert Hirschhorn

Jury consultant Robert Hirschhorn built his career on a promise to his late wife and mentor, Cathy Bennett: make her tools accessible to lawyers who couldn't otherwise afford them. That promise became VerdictHub, an AI tool that runs venue-specific surveys using the equivalent of 500 "digital jurors," with results delivered in three days for $3,000. Robert joins Ben Gideon and Rahul Ravipudi to break down when a two-minute voir dire can outperform an hour-long one, why he's reversed course on jury questionnaires, and how scaled questions can flag problem jurors fast. Ben compares VerdictHub against his own live-juror data test. Tune in for where AI helps jury selection — and where it still can't replace instinct.
