Visual guide

From questionnaire packet to an editable juror list.

Jury Pro reads the structure of the file, finds prospective jurors, identifies questionnaire fields, and pauses for review before importing anything.

Choose a Word document, PDF, or supported text file.

Review detected jurors and correct unusual names or responses.

Clear a field once to exclude it across the packet, then import.

Annotated screen

Fast marks that still preserve the question behind them.

The green check and red X are useful because they are attached to the selected question. Later, the notes view can show what the juror responded to, rather than leaving a mark without context.

The active question remains visible across the top.

Response controls appear on every seated juror.

Normal notes remain available when an answer needs more detail.

A · Active question

B · Record responses in place

Notes that remain useful

Capture the observation, then find it when it matters.

Juror notes support color, readable formatting, and search. The point is not to create more data. It is to preserve the reason you noticed someone and bring that reason back quickly.

Use color as a quick visual flag in the box.

Keep fuller observations in searchable notes.

Add one note to several jurors when the same answer applies.

Common Courtroom Scenarios

See pressure points become manageable workflows.

These are not assignments. They are familiar moments, shown from the first sign of trouble through the way Jury Pro helps you keep the room, the record, and your next decision in view.

During questioning

Six jurors raise their hands at once

One question produces several responses, and the room is already ready to move on. Writing six separate notes can cost the pace and the context.

Keep the question in view

Voir Dire Mode preserves the active question while you record who responded.

Record the shared point once

Mark responses quickly, then add one group note to the selected jurors when they share the same context.

Keep moving without losing detail

Every response remains connected to the right people, leaving room for individual follow-up notes where they matter.

See the voir dire workflow

When the room changes

Jurors change seats quickly

Several jurors stand and switch places at once. A paper chart becomes outdated before the room settles, but every observation about those people still matters.

Drag jurors to match the room

Move a person from one seat to another as the courtroom changes.

Move people in or out of the box

Drag jurors between the jury pool and jury box without rebuilding their records.

Keep every detail attached

Names, notes, colors, and recorded responses travel with each juror.

Before the panel arrives

The questionnaire packet arrives

A packet may contain pages of repeated prompts, answers, headers, and formatting. The useful information is there, but it is not yet organized for courtroom work.

Let the document keep its structure

Jury Pro reads the file to identify prospective jurors and the data fields used in their questionnaires.

Review before importing

The preview lets you correct unusual names, inspect responses, and exclude fields you do not need.

Start with an editable panel

Only the information you chose enters the project, organized under the correct jurors and ready for review.

See the questionnaire import workflow

When decisions are due

A detail matters before strikes

You remember that someone discussed law enforcement or authority, but not which person said it or what the surrounding answer was.

Search the words you remember

Search across juror names and notes without rearranging the jury box or opening records one by one.

Review each match in place

Matching people and notes come into view while their seats and other context remain visible.

Decide with the whole answer

Return to the full panel after reviewing the relevant records, with the remembered detail restored to its context.

Step-by-step help

Fix the problem and get back to the case.

These guides cover setup, file imports, recovery, and moving your work. You can also find them from the search box at the top of this page.

Install Jury Pro and add your license

Use the trial first or install a purchased license before court. License verification happens on the computer and does not require a continuing internet connection.

Open the Jury Pro listing in Microsoft Store and choose Install. The installation includes the 14-day trial and receives app updates through the Store.
Open Jury Pro. Choose Tools > License, then select Import License File.
Choose the .juryprolicense file delivered by email or downloaded from your Jury Pro account.
Confirm that the License screen shows the correct customer, license type, and license ID.

Jury Pro keeps its own installed copy. Keep the original file with your purchase records so you can reinstall it on another permitted computer.

Import questionnaire PDFs with fewer surprises

PDFs with selectable text usually import fastest. Jury Pro can use Windows OCR for scanned pages, but scan quality still affects names and answers.

Start the juror import and choose the questionnaire PDF.
Let the progress window finish examining text, layout, OCR, juror boundaries, and fields.
Compare every detected name with the source. Names determine where one juror ends and the next begins.
Clear fields you do not need, correct the preview, and import only after the records look right.

For difficult scans, create a searchable OCR copy first when possible. Treat OCR as a starting point and compare important information with the original questionnaire.

Recover work from autosave

Autosave protects recent work after an unexpected close. It supplements the named project file and does not replace ordinary saving.

Open the title-bar menu and choose Load Autosave Data when that command is available.
Inspect the recovered jurors, questions, notes, and seating arrangement.
Press Ctrl+S or choose File > Save Project to create a regular project file.
Look in the adjacent Jury Pro Backups folder if you need an earlier saved version.

Windows protects autosave for the user who created it. Move regular project files and their backup folder when transferring work to another computer.

Move Jury Pro to another computer

Move the application, license, and project as separate items. A project file does not carry the installed license with it.

Install Jury Pro from Microsoft Store on the destination computer.
Copy the regular .jurypro project and its Jury Pro Backups folder through your office’s approved secure method.
Import the original license through Tools > License, subject to the license terms.
Open the transferred project and confirm its jurors, questions, notes, and seating chart before court.

Autosave files are tied to the original Windows user. Use a named project file for transfers, and consider password protection before copying confidential case material.

Resolve a license signature error

A signature error means this Jury Pro build could not verify that the file came from the trusted Jury Pro signing key. Work from the original file before changing anything else.

Download the license again from your Jury Pro account or save a fresh copy of the original email attachment.
Do not open and edit the license. Changes to the customer, email, dates, license type, user count, or other signed fields invalidate it.
Confirm that you are running the current Jury Pro release, then try Tools > License > Import License File again.
If it still fails, keep the rejected file and contact support with the order number and license ID. Never send or request a private signing key.

Changing the filename does not alter the signature, but the file should keep its .juryprolicense extension so Windows and Jury Pro recognize it.

Quick reference

The commands worth knowing before trial.

A one-page courtroom reference is more useful than another long manual. Print it, keep it with your trial materials, and use the fuller guides only when you need them.

Quick answers

Questions users ask before they trust a courtroom tool.

Good support content also answers the questions that stand between a visitor and a confident trial download.

Will Jury Pro work without courtroom internet?

Yes. Core jury-selection functions and local license verification work offline after installation and license import.

Where do juror questionnaires and notes go?

Project files and autosave data remain on the Windows computer or in the location the user chooses. Jury Pro does not silently upload case data.

What questionnaire files can I import?

Jury Pro accepts Word documents, PDFs, text files, and related formats. Text-based or OCR PDFs usually import more reliably than image-only scans.

What happens after the 14-day trial?

Saving and autosave continue. Opening projects, loading autosave recovery data, and printing become available again after a license is installed.

Do I need a Jury Pro account to install the trial?

No. Install Jury Pro through Microsoft Store and start the 14-day trial. A Jury Pro website account is optional and helps you retrieve a purchased license file.

Are updates included?

Yes. Single and Enterprise Licenses include Jury Pro updates. Microsoft Store installs available updates; the license file purchased from jurypro.io continues to verify locally for offline use.

Ready to practice?

Try the workflow before your next trial.

The 14-day trial is enough time to import a sample packet, build a jury box, and run a complete practice session.
