The Answer Was Fine. The Glance at the Lawyer Wasn't.
By Candy Elliott ·
People testifying tend to listen to their own words. Jurors take in everything else too: the pause before the hard question, the voice that drops, the quick look across the room at counsel. A witness can give a true answer and still lose the room.
That's hard to see from inside the chair, and hard to hear from your own lawyer. So CoPO JuryVision, an app attorneys use to rehearse in front of AI jurors, now has a mode pointed at the person on the stand.
How Testimony mode works
The attorney props up a phone with the camera on the witness, plaintiff or defendant, stays off camera, and runs a practice Q&A. You can also pick a video you've already recorded. Each selected juror then watches the session and reports back in plain language: what they saw, what they heard, what they understood and what they believed.
Every comment carries a timestamp. Tap it and the video jumps to that moment, so the person testifying can watch exactly what the juror is describing.
Three more things in the update
- A trust timeline. It tracks each juror's trust from start to finish, so the moment things turned is easy to find.
- Notes for the attorney. A separate tab coaches the off-camera questioning, based on words and voice alone.
- Try Again. Record another take and compare it with the first, juror by juror, to see who changed their mind.
What it can't tell you
These jurors are AI personas, not a real panel, and the app doesn't predict verdicts. It's a rehearsal tool, useful for the same reason a mirror is: it shows you something you couldn't see before you walk in. Anyone being recorded should agree to it first.
Testimony mode is in CoPO JuryVision 1.2. The free tier covers one analysis of up to 3 minutes. Subscribers get recordings of up to 45 minutes and 40 analyses a month.
