The old way
A notepad, or a digital notepad
Most “jury selection software” moves the legal pad onto a screen and stops there. No added data, no analysis, no scoring, no tracking, no insight. You still bring everything else yourself.
Full-suite, AI-assisted jury selection
Pick your jury on data, not guesswork.
StrikeList AI organizes the panel, pulls public data on every prospective juror, scores each one across multiple metrics and against the keep and strike jurors you define, and sits beside you through voir dire with Whisper Mode. Then it tells you how to try the case to the jury you seated.

What is StrikeList AI?
StrikeList AI is AI-assisted jury selection software for trial lawyers, civil and criminal, on either side, in all 50 states. It organizes the panel, pulls public data on every prospective juror, scores each one against your case, and assists you during voir dire with Whisper Mode. It costs $500 per trial with no subscription, and it was built by David Drwencke, a Chicago criminal defense trial lawyer, through ForVerdict LLC. It supplements, not replaces, the attorney’s judgment.

02 More art than science?
Most trial lawyers call jury selection more art than science. That is where the bias hides.
The panel walks in at the same moment the clerk hands you the list. Decisions come fast, under the gun, and they carry biases we do not always recognize. Even the lawyers who have read the books, sat through the lectures and hired the consultants have no clean way to evaluate every prospective juror the same way.
Without one standard applied to everyone, the fourteenth juror is judged differently from the first.
The old way
Gut calls under time pressure
Forty strangers, a few minutes each, and a judge waiting for your strikes. Instinct is real, and it is also where unexamined bias does its quiet work.
The old way
No consistent yardstick
The juror you questioned at 9:15 gets your full attention. The one at 11:40 gets what is left. Without a standard applied to everyone, the fourteenth juror is judged differently from the first.
Then it keeps going.
StrikeList AI does all of that, and then keeps going. It is the cleanest organizational tool in the category, and it is also the data, the scoring, the flags, the side-by-side comparisons and the live jury consultant that no notepad can be.
03 How it works
Six steps from jury list to a panel you understand.
Set the case up once. Everything you add afterward is organized, scored against your criteria and your avatars, and ready when voir dire begins.
Build your case
Charges or claims, your side, theory of the case, key facts and strategy. Then describe your keep avatar and your strike avatar.
Enter jurors
Type names in, import a questionnaire, or photograph the jury list and let StrikeList AI extract it into a panel laid out like the courtroom.
Collect and organize information
Public data is gathered into one card per juror in moments, with sources and match confidence shown.
Score across multiple metrics
Every juror is scored on several algorithms and against your avatars, color-coded and updated as notes come in.
Run voir dire with Whisper Mode
Follow-up questions, cause flags and strategy on the fly, plus side-by-side comparison when you must choose between two jurors.
Try the case to the jury you got
Seat, strike or challenge with your reasons recorded, then carry post-selection insights into opening.
04 The full suite
One platform. Every layer of jury selection, tied to your specific case.
Nothing here is generic. Scores, flags and Whisper Mode all run against the theory of your case, its facts, your strategy and the arguments you expect to face. It is a jury consultant for every case, without the human bias and without the hourly rate.
A panel that mirrors the courtroom
Every juror gets a card. Lay the box out exactly the way you see it, six or twelve seats, with alternates, and move jurors as the court does.
Scores across multiple metrics
Each juror is scored on several algorithms at once, color-coded so the panel reads at a glance and consistent from the first seat to the last.
Your avatar jurors
Describe the juror you want and the juror you do not. StrikeList AI scores every real juror against your keep avatar and your strike avatar.
Public-records enrichment
Publicly available data on each juror is pulled in moments and feeds directly into the scores, with sources and match confidence shown.
Team notes that sharpen the score
Notes your team enters during voir dire enrich the scoring in real time. Flags appear as new information changes the picture.
Strike tracking that keeps the record
Peremptory and cause challenges, which party used them, and the reasons you gave, captured as it happens.
Whisper Mode
Your own jury consultant, ready whenever you need one. On-the-fly questions, strategy and flags, built from your case and this panel.
Insights after the jury is picked
Once the panel is sworn, StrikeList AI turns everything it learned into guidance for opening, witnesses and themes. The work does not stop at selection.
05 Whisper Mode
A jury consultant for every case, ready the moment you need one.
Whisper Mode reads the notes you enter against your case, your criteria, your avatars and each juror’s card, and responds the way a prepared second chair would: the question worth asking, the cause issue worth raising, the fact you might have missed. You decide what to do with it.
- Knows your theory of the case, your side and every juror in the panel
- Suggests targeted follow-up questions when an answer deserves one
- Flags potential cause issues with the statement that prompted them
- Stays quiet until you look. No alerts, no interruptions.
Whisper Mode · Live voir direListening
“Says she was a victim of a burglary in 2019. Case was never solved. Seemed frustrated with police response.”
Whisper Mode
Her frustration was with the investigation, not the defendant. For a defense built on a rushed investigation, that experience may cut in your favor. Confirm before treating it as a cause issue.
Suggested question
Did that experience leave you with any views about how police investigations should be conducted that you would bring into this courtroom?

06 Questions before you buy
The lawyer decides. StrikeList AI makes sure the lawyer is informed.
Every score, flag and suggestion is built from information you can see and criteria you set. Nothing is hidden, nothing is automatic, and no output tells you what a juror will do.
Is StrikeList AI worth it compared with a jury consultant?
A traditional jury consultant runs $10,000+ per case for a full engagement, and a half-day of voir dire help alone can run several thousand dollars. StrikeList AI is $500 per trial for the full suite, or $4,000 for a 10-trial bundle ($400 each), with no subscription.
Is this kind of juror research allowed and ethical?
StrikeList AI collects only publicly available records and public social content. No contact with jurors, ever. Attorneys remain responsible for compliance with the rules that govern juror research and peremptory challenges in their jurisdiction.
Can I trust what the AI tells me?
Every score, flag and suggestion is built from information you can see and criteria you set. Each juror’s profile shows what was found, where it came from, and how confident the match is. StrikeList AI does not predict verdicts or juror behavior. You decide.
What if one of my strikes is questioned?
StrikeList AI records peremptory and cause challenges, which party used them, and the reasons you gave, as it happens. Your reasoning is documented if it is ever questioned.
Does StrikeList AI fit my practice?
StrikeList AI works for civil and criminal cases, on either side, in all 50 states. The panel mirrors your courtroom: six or twelve seats, with alternates, and you move jurors as the court does.
Can I see StrikeList AI before I buy?
Yes. Request a demo of StrikeList AI; it takes about twenty minutes. If you are ready now, buy a single trial for $500 and set up your case today.
Who built StrikeList AI?
David Drwencke, a Chicago criminal defense trial lawyer, built StrikeList AI. He spent seven years as a judicial clerk, practiced civil litigation for both plaintiffs and defendants, and tries more than twenty cases a year. His company, ForVerdict LLC, offers it.
Transparent inputs
Each juror’s profile shows what was found, where it came from, and how confident the match is.
Criteria you control
Scores follow the case-specific criteria you define, applied the same way to every juror in the box.
Public information only
Collection is limited to publicly available records and public social content. No contact with jurors, ever.

07 Who built it
A trial lawyer who wanted the advantage first.
StrikeList AI was built by David Drwencke, a trial attorney by trade and by practice. He spent seven years in the courtroom as a judicial clerk, observing hundreds of trials from the bench’s side of the room, then practiced civil litigation for both plaintiffs and defendants before founding his own criminal defense firm, where he tries more than twenty cases a year and has hundreds of trials behind him.
A self-described tech nerd, he built tools in-house to gain a competitive advantage for his own clients. ForVerdict LLC exists to make those tools available to other trial attorneys. StrikeList AI is the first public offering.
