Problem
As a product designer for Quick Verdicts, I was tasked with transforming the traditional mock-trial process — which is time-consuming, location-bound, and limited in participant engagement — into a scalable, remote virtual courtroom platform. The challenge: how might we build a credible, motivating experience for both legal professionals and trial participants that preserves realism while unlocking accessibility and flexibility?
Solution
To solve this, I designed a virtual courtroom experience centered around realism and ease of participation. Through user research, I identified that trust and clarity were the biggest barriers to engagement. I streamlined the participant journey with guided onboarding, clear role assignments, and visual courtroom metaphors that mirror the in-person experience. The result was a platform that feels authentic and professional while being entirely remote and rewarding to use.
